For the sake of others who might find this thread, one possible cause of this warning is that you have multiple languages defined in string resource files and you did not specify format arguments in one or more of them.

For example, if you have a strings.xml in your values folder, and another strings.xml in your values-es folder, but you only added format arguments to the strings.xml in your values folder, then the warning will be triggered because of the lack of format arguments in the string resource of strings.xml in your values-es folder.
