Question

I have thousand of strings in Json and I wanted to convert into xml(strings.xml) .Is there any short way to do that ? plugins ? or I have to do it one by one?

If you want to convert the json to xml in your app, you can use any existing library. This answer refers to one such.

If you just want to simply convert a json contents to xml, you can use any online converter. This one came first in my google search result. (But I would check the site's reliability before uploading any sensitive data)

You can read the entire JSON into a String object, and get the XML representation with Regex and .replace() method Of a String

Here is a smaple

val json = """{
                "text_download_complete":"your file is downloaded"
            }"""

val xml = json.replace("\\{\\s*".toRegex(), "<string name=")
    .replace(":\\s*\"".toRegex(), ">")
    .replace("\"\\s*\\}".toRegex(), "</string>")

Log.d("LOG_TAG", "onCreate: XML:\n$xml")

You can also read the JSON file instead of coping the entire file into a String...

I believe that won't be the optimum solution, but I think it would be a one shot task, and just wanted to be simple rather than looking at performance.
