In Android Studio what is the correct syntax for android:text="SomeText @string/some_string SomeText"?

Issue

In strings.xml file I have the following entry -

<string name="Rs">\u20B9</string>

Now in my activity_main.xml file when I have the entry -

android:text="@string/Rs"

the output on device is correctly shown as "₹"

But when I have the entry -

android:text="Pizza @string/Rs 350"

the output on my device is incorrectly shown as "Pizza @string/Rs 350"

How to correct this?

Solution

You have put the following code in your strings.xml file -

<string name="pizza_price">Pizza \u20B9350</string>

and you have to put the following code in your activity_main.xml file -

android:text="@string/pizza_price"
