Is There A Way To Have A Resource Name Inside Strings.xml With A Space?

Example: Android complains that ' ' is not a valid resource name character. Am I forced to use say 'New_Delhi' and then programatically map this in my program?

Solution 1:

Yes, for the simple reason that Java fields cannot have spaces in their names. A string resource named New_Delhi is referenced in Java as R.string.New_Delhi. A space, in lieu of the underscore, would not be valid Java syntax.
