Nativescript-angular: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'label' with value '@string/title_activity_kimera')

[leakira]

Hi
I'm getting this error when build for Android:

/Users/akira/dev/nativescript/GuarulhosTEM/GuarulhosTEM/platforms/android/build/intermediates/manifests/full/F0F1F2F3/release/AndroidManifest.xml:32:28-57: AAPT: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'label' with value '@string/title_activity_kimera').

I tried to clean node_modules and platform to rebuild, but this error continues.
Seeing my strings.xml, title_activity_kimera is missing, but in all build attempts, the string continues missing

Here is the crash point:

@LeandroTakagi somehow you are missing an Android string resource which is used by the starting template and created by the NativeScript CLI. The solution is to either restore this string value or remove the references to it.

Below are the steps needed to restore it:

• open folder _app/App_Resources/Android/values_
• create file called strings.xml
• add the following content

<resources>
    <string name="title_activity_kimera">MyAppTitle</string>
</resources>

• repeat the above steps for _app/App_Resources/Android/values-v21_

• remove platforms folder and rebuild the application.

Solved. Thank you

This solution didn't worked as exposed, but it pointed me to the right direction after struggling with nativescrip-ui-dataform plugin (buggy?). Because some strange errors I finally did a tns update, and then the error of this type happened (title_activity_kimera).

Here is how I solved it:
1.- yes, the title_activity_kimera was missing, but the app/App_Resources/Android/values/strings.xml file was not being used. Instead, another file in app/App_Resources/Android/src/main/res/values/strings.xml

2.-I found that such new file was plenty of strings I set for nativescript-localize plugin (i18n) that requires one or more JSON files in app/i18n like en.default.json to exist to do dynamical replacement based on language.

3.-I set the title_activity_kimera string at that file as any other term I want to translate and rebuild using tns run android

This is not a solution, but I wonder what other files can be missing because overwrittes like this one.
