That's pretty odd. I am not aware of any particular problems here. In fact, I just hacked in res/values-land/strings.xml in one of my book samples, and it works as expected. If you can create a sample project that reproduces your problem, post it somewhere. Or, grab: http://github.com/commonsguy/cw-android/tree/master/Resources/Strings/ and add res/values-land/strings.xml with: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <string name="btn_name">LAND:</string> </resources> When I build and load that in a 2.1 emulator, the resource value changes as expected. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 3.0 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
