Hardcoded string “Test”, should use @string resource

Hi guys I'm new here and this is my very first problem

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

<TextView

android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/ref"
/>

<TextView

No problem that you are using the string hardcoded or not. If you want further information you could look:

strings.xml

<resources>
<string name="Test">Test</string>
<resources>

and use it lin layout file like

<TextView

android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/Test"
/>

this is not an error, this is a warning. If you dont want this warning you should implement your "Test" string in
strings.xml as <string name="Test">Test</string> and use it like <TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/Test" /> please see my edited post –
