ADT shows error in Strings.xml

Or, alternatively, you can modify your % format specifiers to use argument indices, like so:

<string name="date_format">%1$d:%2$d %3$s</string>

More info on the Formatter class in the Android Reference Docs.

android xml resources adt

Try doing the following

<string name="date_format" formatted="false">%d:%d %s</string>

The detailed explanation can be found in the answer to this question: Android XML Percent Symbol

android xml resources adt

I'm also seeing this error cause of a typo:%$3s. Should be %3$s.

Just for somebody who is stupid like me:)
