Android Resources

hoangnguyen0403/android-resources

Organize Android strings, drawables, fonts, themes, localization, and concrete resource-backed Compose values such as MaterialTheme colors. Use for resource declarations and their direct UI lookup; defer design-system token architecture, network image loading, lint-rule configuration, and general Compose implementation.

Implementation Guidelines

Strings & Localization

  • Define in XML: All UI text must in strings.xml. Use stringResource(R.string.*) in Compose.
  • Formatting: Use format args (%s, %d) instead of concatenation. Use plurals (e.g., <item quantity="one">) for quantity-sensitive strings.
  • Parity: Maintain Localizable.strings (iOS) parity where possible for shared features.
  • Dynamic Access: Use context.getString(R.string.id, args) for dynamic lookups.

Assets / Drawables

  • Formats: Prefer VectorDrawables (.xml) over RASTER images. Scale cleanly across density buckets (mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi, xxhdpi).
  • Plurals: Use resources.getQuantityString(R.plurals.items, count, count) for quantity-sensitive strings.
  • Dark Mode: Support Configuration.UI_MODE_NIGHT via values-night/ qualifier or MaterialTheme tokens. Never use hardcoded hex colors in Layouts/Composables.
  • Themes: Map all colors to Design Tokens (primary, surface, error) for consistent skinning.

Anti-Patterns

  • No String Concatenation in UI: Use format args (%s, %d) in strings.xml instead.
  • No Hardcoded UI Text: All visible strings must defined in strings.xml.
