Someone please explain what is the main idea of using strings.xml?
I think it would be useful for multi-language support but how can we organise it for that?
Do I need it if I don’t want to use multi-language support in my android application?
The idea is that it represents a single location for various strings, so your code isn’t peppered with string literals. In addition to that, you gain the ability to easily localize. Organization of files for localization is covered here:

Do you need it if you’re not localizing? No. But it may make things easier in the long run, and I would recommend using it just for that reason.
