I've been attempting to utilize the plurals resource with Android but have not had any luck.

Here is my resource file for my plurals:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <resources xmlns:xliff="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2">
        <plurals name="meters">
            <item quantity="one">1 meter</item>
            <item quantity="other">
                <xliff:g id="count">%d</xliff:g>
                meters
            </item>
        </plurals>
        <plurals name="degrees">
            <item quantity="one">1 degree</item>
            <item quantity="other">
                <xliff:g id="count">%d</xliff:g>
                degrees
            </item>
        </plurals>
    </resources>

...and then here is the code I am using when I attempt to extract the quantity string from my resources:

Resources res = this.getResources();
tTemp.setText(res.getQuantityString(R.plurals.degrees, this.mObject.temp_c.intValue()));

...but the text in the TextView remains to be %d degrees and %d meters.

Does anyone know what is happening? I've debugged the code and the res.getQuantityString(...) call is returning a String whose value is %d degrees or %d meters. Though when the quantity happens to be 1 it does correctly evalute to 1 degree or 1 meter.

Thanks in advance for any help!
