title: A string from res/values/strings.xml doesn't show up for use in my code
body: <p>I'm trying to store a create database script (a rather lengthy one) in the strings.xml file (noobie here, haven't figured out a better place to put it yet) it does show up in the generated R class:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public static final class string {
          public static final int app_name=0x7f040001;
          public static final int create_database=0x7f040002; //this one here
          public static final int hello=0x7f040000;
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but when I try this in the code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>DATABASE_CREATE = R.string.create_database;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>'create_database' is not available. Ti's simply not there, I get an error if I try to use it. Any ideas why this is so? Do those strings have length limitations? Can they only consist of a single line? 
  If that's the case, what's the right place to put my SQL create script?
  Thanks for your answers.</p>
