So I am not such a newbie in Programming, Java or Android developing, but I got a strange issue: I have made an application, quite advanced, and have it on market.

For now I have over 1000 installs and I have around 4 or 5 crash reports for a ResourceNotFoundException. The strangest thing is that the line it crashes on is on 

setContentView(R.layout.some_custom_layout)

In code I am always referring to resourced by

someTxtView.setText(R.string.some_string)

So I am wondering if I used 

mContext.getResources().getDrawable(mContext.getResources().getIdentifier("some_string", "string", "my.example.package"));

would the crash go away?

    I was facing the same issue and I fixed it by creating Layout Folder called “layout-small”.

    Based on resolutions I have created only 2 folders “layout-large” and “layout-medium”. But few phones are having lower resolution it doesn’t find proper resources as per the resolution. Android OS renders xml resources as per resolution. It goes and find the resources in required folders.

    95+ % Android phones having resolution which matches “layout-normal” folder. But still there are Phones having lower resolution. Hence this issue occurred.

    Hope this helps your problem.
