title: Android variables in strings.xml
body: <p>Somewhere I read how to use variables in XML document. They said it's very simple and I guess it was. I successfully used it that way in Android strings.xml file. I was using it that way the whole day until suddenly android stopped to parse it and stopped to treat it like a variable.</p>
  
  <p>I used it in this way:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;resources&gt;
  &lt;string name="some_string"&gt;string1&lt;/string&gt;
  &lt;string name="another_string"&gt; {$some_string} trolololo &lt;/string&gt;
  &lt;/resources&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and in java accessing it through: getApplicationContext().getString(R.strings.another_string);</p>
  
  <pre><code>getApplicationContext().getString(R.strings.another_string);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In the output I used to receive string like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>string1 trolololo
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and now I receive only:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{$some_string} trolololo
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any idea what is wrong? I know that Android's XML may differ than standard XML, but IT USED TO WORK. Awww... Thanks for any advice.</p>
