@Strings of cordova plugins (i.e. cordova-plugin-facebook4)

Hello everyone and thanks for your work!

I have trouble set plugin related @strings to our project.

For example the cordova-plugin-facebook4 plugin required 2 @strings:

<string name="fb_app_id">123456789</string>
<string name="fb_app_name">CompagnyName</string>

If I set them in android/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml I get

error: resource string/fb_app_id (aka com.my.app:string/fb_app_id) not found.
Message{kind=ERROR, text=error: resource string/fb_app_id (aka com.my.app:string/fb_app_id) not found., sources=[android/app/build/intermediates/manifests/full/debug/AndroidManifest.xml:111], original message=, tool name=Optional.of(AAPT)}

otherwise if I set them in node_modules/@capacitor/cli/assets/capacitor-android-plugins/src/main/res/values/facebookconnect.xml it’s work ! But unfortunetly it’s will be erased at the next cap sync

I have the same kind of issue with google-map-plugins that require key to work.

Is there anyway to make the configuration persistant?

Thanks

@PapyElGringo change your platforms/android/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml to (worked to me):

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<resources>
    <string name="app_name">Melhor da Vez</string>
    <string name="launcher_name">@string/app_name</string>
    <string name="activity_name">@string/launcher_name</string>
    <string name="fb_app_id">ID</string>
    <string name="fb_app_name">APP_NAME</string>
</resources>

For me, adding them to the apps string file is working fine. Just had to sync gradle first, and then run. Can you try with latest version of Capacitor?
