    <p>In my application's <code>AndroidManifest.xml</code> I am trying to tell it to use a string from a <code>/res/values</code> in a particular package instead of the first one one found in one of the libraries (the string <code>my_label</code> could be defined in more than one libraries) :</p> <pre><code> &lt;application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="com.example.projname.appmodule:@string/my_label"&gt; </code></pre> <p>The above notation/syntax doesn't work, however. It only accepts the following form which doesn't allow pin-pointing a specific resource file:</p> <pre><code> &lt;application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/my_label"&gt; </code></pre> <p>Is it possible at all to tell Application's AndroidManifest.xml take a @string value from a specific <code>/res/values</code>?</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> The interesting thing is, the build environment doesn't complain at all about the <code>"com.example.projname.appmodule:@string/my_label"</code> syntax. But when the application runs, it displays <code>com.example.projname.appmodule:@string/my_label</code> instead of the string value.</p> <p>As @Nikola Despotoski suggested below, a workaround could be setting this programmatically in the application, but since the build environment doesn't complain about this syntax, I am still wondering whether this a bug in the build env or something that I have been missing.</p> <p>My workaround, for now, is to make sure that <code>my_label</code> is unique, e.g. my_3F2504E0-4F89-11D3-9A0C-0305E82C3301_label so it can't appear in any other package.</p>

    1. COIf get your question correctly you need to concatenate the "com.example.projname.appmodule:" with value "@string/my_label" http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/dmndhelp/v6rxmx/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.wbit.help.sib.mediation.ui.doc/topics/tconcatxml.html

    2. CO@Nikola Despotoski Thanks but I am not using WebSphere. These are plain Android XML files. I am not even sure that what I am looking for is possible. But perhaps I am missing something in the syntax (which works fine in .java files). Any ideas?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
