[android-developers] Re: Using internal Android string resources

There is that problem Bob, but you can't have it both ways.

Ether you depend on standards and consistency from the platform itself or you manage it yourself. 

Most advice regarding resources are to manage them yourself (your argument applies to images as well as strings). so that your not surprised when something changes or goes missing.

I think there is legitimacy to both ideologies.

For the moment I don't have a lot of confidence in the ability of Goole not to keep the platform from fragmenting even further, so I'm going to do with the locale resource model. 

It's somewhat mute anyway, because most of those already translated string resources are hidden from the public API. Ther is no choice but to extract them.
