Re: [android-developers] Formatted string and localization problem
Hi, Thanks a lot for your instructive answer. I have no strings in my application where the order of the arguments are relevant, but I will bear this in mind for further.

Re: [android-developers] Formatted string and localization problem
You need to number the string arguments because in some translations, the order in which the substitutions appear may not be the same. If you just use %s, there is no way to for example use the second argument earlier than the first; it will need to find the first occurrence of %s and match it with the first parameter, and so on. With numbered arguments, one translation could do this: "Dear %2$s, %1$s." (for example when the strings represent first and last names, where there are different conventions across localizations.) -- Tor On Thu, Jun 21, 2012 at 8:24 AM, Francisco M.

Re: [android-developers] Formatted string and localization problem
I didn't notice the additional *formatted="false" *attribute when you applied... So when I read your response it seemed like you ignored what was suggested and didn't try it. I was not meaning to come across as high-handed. There are a number of people who, when given an answer, ignore it and/or don't even try it... That is what it seemed like you were doing. Since that is not the case, I apologize. Thanks, Justin Anderson MagouyaWare Developer http://sites.google.com/site/magouyaware On Thu, Jun 21, 2012 at 9:24 AM, Francisco M.

Re: [android-developers] Formatted string and localization problem
Well, the other approach also seems to solve the problem, so as both approaches seems to solve the problem, I do not see the difference between them. And your answer didn't help me, indeed. BTW, there is no need of being so high-handed when answering.

Hi Tor, I used this instead: Couldn\'t load music file %s (%s) Is there some difference with your proposal?
