How to add string resources in Eclipse?

Question

Can I have Eclipse adding my string resources as I code or do I have to switch to string.xml all the time and add each string?

Answer 1

Eclipse will sort of do it for you. So if you have a field:

android:text="hello"

Select "hello" and then goto Refactor-->Android-->Extract Android String, Eclipse will change the line to:

android:text="@string/hello"

and automagically add the line to strings.xml as:

Hello
