Android: is there an easy way to find all the Strings in my project?

Question

I want to scan my Android project for all hardcoded Strings so I can localize the project, putting the Strings in strings.xml. I see an option in Eclipse to \'Externalize String

Answer 1

NOTE: This solutions can help with HALF your problem- finding all hardcoded strings. You will still need to do the actual refactoring yourself because you still need to name all extracted strings.

EDIT:

This is the shorter and better answer:

1. Menu -> Analyze -> Run Inspection by name... (even has a shortcut if you feel nimble)
2. Type "Hardcoded Text", select scope and run.

You can run a custom lint inspections - to find only hardcoded texts in layout files:

1. Menu -> Analyze -> Inspect Code

2. selects desired scope (layouts, for instance)

3. under 'Inspection profile', select a new custom profile (...)

4. Duplicate an existing profile, and un-check all inspections EXCEPT 'HardcodedText'

5. Run this inspection, and all your hardcoded strings will conveniently be collected into a single list.
