Question

I want to create the following string array in my strings.xml file:

<string-array name="an_array_columns">
         <item>% Select percentage1</item>
         <item>% Select percentage2</item>
</string-array>

here the string is “% select percentage”. Now, when I am writing this in my strings.xml, I am getting the following error:

Multiple annotations found at this line:
    - error: Multiple substitutions specified in non-positional format; did you mean to 
     add the formatted="false" attribute?
    - error: Found tag </item> where </string-array> is expected

I know we can change & to & or ' to \', but what do I do for percentage sign?
