How to use string arguments in layout.xml

Question

We use getString(R.string.test,1) where 1 is argument in

<string name=test>Hello %1$d</string>

This works in java, but i want to use the same in android:text for textviews in layout.xml. But when I use: @string/test it displays Hello %1$d or @string/test,0 then gives error( not the expected string). Is there a way to provide argument for string in layout.xml?

there is no way to do it in layout xml unfortunately. – Vladyslav Matviienko Feb 22 '18 at 10:49 — Vladyslav Matviienko, Feb 22 '18 at 10:49

Set it programmatically like below.

mTextView.setText(String.format(getString(R.string.test), 1));
