5,672 PointsAndroid Studio - Extract a string - (Refactor)
The video called "Easy sharing Intents" Ben extracts a string from code and easily refactors to strings.xml in Eclipse. I'm on Android Studio.
Anybody know how to do it?
I tried highlighting the string and "Reactor" ... but i did not see anything that matched.
I tried Googling it but no success.
Thanks

Click the light bulb and select "Extract string resource" then fill in the appropriate fields. Hope this helps!
