App_name string is automatically replaced to "API AAPI de Android" on Android v.100.1.0

Question

Hi!

When compiling any  android application in version 100.1.0 of arcgis,  the name of the application is automatically changed to "API AAPI de Android"

Has it happened to someone else?

Thanks!

Hi Victor Gallego‌, Two workarounds for this: 1) Create a localized version of the strings.xml file and include the app_name tag in there. My App 2) Use a different string resource to identify the app on in the Manifest file. e.g.: My App I am going to notify the Android team on this and see if there is another solution available.

Ok, I see what is happening.  When I changed my language settings to a different language other than English (Spanish, German, etc...) I am seeing a different app name.  Let me take some time to research this and see what I can come back with.

Thanks,

Alexander

I create any Android project and compiling the application shows the name I want. If I add the

"compile 'com.esri.arcgisruntime:arcgis-android:100.1.0'" line to the build.gradle file, When I compile the application the name changes by "API AAPI de Android".

I have checked that I automatically replace the "app_name" with that name in the files that is in the path:

app\build\intermediates\incremental\mergeDebugResources\merged.dir\values-es\values-es.xml

app\build\intermediates\incremental\mergeDebugResources\merger.xml

app\build\intermediates\incremental\mergeDebugResources\merged.dir\values-es\values-es.xml
