Call generic string resource programmatically

Issue

in strings.xml I have one resource.

<string name="generic_price_with_rupee_symbol">\u20B9 %s</string>

This is what I do in Android data binding that works perfectly

<TextView
      ...
      android:text="@{@string/generic_price_with_rupee_symbol(item.price)}"
      />

Question:

How to use this resource in java code? As I don't want to make new resource.

I tried

textView.setText(getString(R.string.generic_price_with_rupee_symbol) + "100");

That gives wrong result and prints %s also.

Solution

It should be written like this -

textView.setText(getString(R.string.generic_price_with_rupee_symbol, "100"));

Check out String getString (int resId, Object... formatArgs) from Documentation.
