Using ' in string.xml file

I have given app_name as below : 

 <string name="app_name">My \'App</string>

to use apostrophe I used \ in it.

But, still it giving me below error:

Error:(2) Apostrophe not preceded by \ (in My 'App)

So, I removed ' from the app_name and write it as simply My App. But, still it giving me same error, I have restarted android studio, cleaned project and even restarted my system but,still getting same error.

Solution

  • Replace your line 

     <string name="app_name">My \'App</string>

    with

     <string name="app_name">My &#39;App</string>
