If I were to store a string resource id in a database, could I expect the resource id to still point me to the desired string when I pull it back a few versions down the line?
Sample Case:
Store the recource Id 0x7f060003, with the assumption it points
to the string “I’m a pleasant string!” for an inderterminate
amount of time.
Time comes along in which I need the resource, but X versions have passed, will the resource id still point to “I’m a pleasant string!”?
When you say X versions have passed, do you mean you have changed your source code? And updated the apk?
The R id integers are created at compile time. Therefore constant in your app once built.
However if you add a new layout / id / drawable your ID’s will change.
