Can Android XML input "@"?

Question

I want to hard code a string resource with an email syntax like ABC@gmail.com. But, eclipse pop up an error to say that "@" cannot be included.

How can '@' include in the string resource.

Thanks you.

Even encoding the @ as \u0040 does not work – Robert Jul 26 '12 at 08:20 — Robert, Jul 26 '12 at 08:20

Try this:

Add string in strings.xml:

<string name="email">xyz@gmail.com</string>

and try to set this in activity as:

textView.setText(R.string.email);
