Agree on how to use strings.xml #14

Open ealmdahl opened 9 years ago

Particularly with regards to capitalization. Use the textAllCaps property for TextViews for relevant views?

Damian-Lopata commented 8 years ago

I don't know if we need any convention for string.xml file? Not sure if I understand this issue. Do you wanna agree @ealmdahl on one of those?

  1. using textAllCaps and placing normal text in string.xml
  2. not using textAllCaps and placing uppercase text in string.xml

I think textAllCaps is widely used and is available from API level 14, our app min is 16 so we could use that without any problem. I prefer 1st option.

I would definitely prefer using textAllCaps and writing the string as it would be written normally.

ealmdahl commented 8 years ago

I prefer using textAllCaps too.

How about naming conventions in the strings, though? To me, that ties somewhat in with naming conventions for views and layouts as well.

Which, in turn, might tie into what @jeantuffier and I are talking about around https://github.com/hyperoslo/android-playbook/issues/18#issuecomment-172798466. :smile:
