Maintainer checklist

• The commit messages for the remote branch should be checked to make sure the contributor's email is set up correctly so that they receive credit for their contribution

  • The contributor's name and icon in remote commits should be the same as what appears in the PR
  • If there's a mismatch, the contributor needs to make sure that the email they use for GitHub matches what they have for git config user.email in their local Scribe-Android repo

• The linting and formatting workflows within the PR checks do not indicate new errors in the files changed

• The CHANGELOG has been updated with a description of the changes for the upcoming release and the corresponding issue (if necessary)

Should be updated in Scribe-i18n repo also

@DeKaN Could you remove these changes for now where the assets folder values are being changed? It would mess up the git subtree. @andrewtavis Should we make the text for now be taken from strings.xml which Android has given by default until the string is changed?

[angrezichatterbox]

Thank you so much for the PR @DeKaN. Could u remove the changes from the assets and temporarily add the value to the strings.xml file only and then the PR would be perfect

@angrezichatterbox Done

Could you run the app ones so that changes to values-es would be retracted? Also, could you add the version string to strings.xml rather than string.xml? So it is like every time the app is run the values in string.xml files get changed.

[DeKaN]

Yes, Gradle overwrites string.xml by version from assets (that's why I added changes there).
If I move Version string to strings.xml, I have to use another resource id and the string will be excluded from your i18n. Are you sure?

The reference remains the same you could call using R.string.name_of_string or @string/string_name. The value would get changed during the build if it's added to string.xml. For now, could u add it to strings.xml. Let the name be the same.

Resources must have unique ids. So string with id app.about.feedback.version must be removed from all string.xml files, if you want to put it to strings.xml. But you don't want to change files in assets.
I can add it with another id, but you'll get this conflict later when you update the id in i18n repo

I forgot that there was a Version string. For not just add a new string to strings.xml with the resource id of your choice and then use the string.

Done

Thanks for the changes, @DeKaN, and also for your two's collaboration 😊 Just tested and it's working fine. We can figure out the specifics of the text once we bring the Scribe-i18n subtree in next time :)
