Android eclipse resource strings error

Question

When I make a new android project and I go to res/values/string.xml I get a screen to add android resources instead of a XML document. I keeps getting the error about : java.lang.NullPointerException.

Is there a way to just alter a XML file (like suggested in tutorials)?

Answer 1

You have a small tab bar on the bottom in eclipse, where you can switch between the GUI and the plain XML file (only visible if you have already opened the file)

Answer 2

do you create a new xml with java or the Android xml file ? because with java it's not gonna work .
