Format string XXX is not a valid format string so it should not be passed to String.format

Question

I have android app and this string in resources:

Select up to %1$d people!

Thi

Answer 1

For the formatting of the string to be correct:

String.format(Locale.ENGLISH, itemView.context.getString(R.string.XXX), "%17") 

Also the special characters do not have to interfere with the injection of parameters. For that, take into account the exhaust outlets for special characters

From: % %1$s

To: %1$s

Finally XXX is "%17"

Good Luck.
