Build Errors When Importing Wiktionary

Question

When importing the Wiktionary project into Eclipse, I immediately get error messages related to my strings.xml file. The same errors occur whether I download the project through subversion or from the SDK sample files.

Console errors:

The Android Asset Packaging Tool (aapt) has become very strict in its latest release and is now used for all Android versions. The aapt-error you're getting is generated because it no longer allows non-positional format specifiers.

So you have to make some changes into your C:\Trunk\Wiktionary\res\values\strings.xml file.

Use %% instead of % and then clean and build the project.

I appreciate the response. Made the change still get the error. I seem to have a problem with widget_word.xml as well it is x'd in eclipse. Could I have the wrong strings.xml or widget_word.xml? – user555361 Dec 30 '10 at 21:20
Was facing same error with 2.2 sample of SearchableDictionary. Your suggestion fixed it. – vivek.m Feb 19 '12 at 18:07

Change build target from 1.5 or 1.6 to 2.2 (API version 8)

Update res\values\string.xml and replace % with %%

I experienced the same problem. Adding 1$ & 2$ to specify positions did the trick. The corrected lines from strings.xml are:

<string name="template_user_agent">"%1$s/%2$s (Linux; Android)"</string>
<string name="template_wotd_title">"Wiktionary:Word of the day/%1$s %2$s"</string>
