为了这个问题,想象一下我的应用程序可以帮助用户练习外语。
他们按一个按钮开始文字转语音介绍,其中说:
<string name="repeat_after_me" translatable="true">Repeat after me</string>
此字符串将以正常方式进行本地化,根据设备区域设置从相应的res/values-lang/strings.xml
文件中提取字符串。
在介绍之后,应用程序需要在他们当前希望学习的语言/语言环境中说出任意一个字符串。这就是问题所在。
假设Text to Speech从一个简单的方法开始,例如:
private void startLearning(Locale learningLocale)
伪代码:
TTS.speak(getString(R.string.repeat_after_me)
接下来是:
TTS.speak(getRandomLearningString(learningLocale))
其中:
String getRandomLearningString(Locale learningLocale) {
// return a random string here
}
以上是我坚持如何最好地引用xml资源的地方,其中包含用户正在学习的语言的“字符串数组”(为了随机选择一个)。
<string-array name="en_EN" translatable="false">
<item>"Where is the nearest hospital?"</item>
<item>"What's the time please?"</item>
<item>"Only if you promise to wear protection and we have a safe word"</item>
</string-array>
假设每种语言都有大量字符串,而且我支持大量语言,问题是:
我应该如何存储这些字符串以使其在开发中易于管理和可读?我应该如何“动态”从方法中引用它们?
澄清 - 主要问题不仅仅是我如何解决:
getStringArray(R.array.(variableLocale);
但是我如何/在哪里存储这些字符串数组,以便实现可扩展和组织。
我提前感谢你。
编辑 - 切换语言的实际文本到语音实现不是问题,我已经涵盖了这一点。

如果要保持这种可扩展性,则需要以支持随机访问的形式保存字符串,而不必将所有内容都加载到内存中。因此,一个普通文件(其中strings.xml本质上)不会完成这项工作。
我建议您检查是否可以使用 SQLite数据库完成所需的操作。
这会导致类似:
SELECT text FROM table WHERE locale = yourlocale ORDER BY RANDOM() LIMIT 1
(见Select random row from an sqlite table)。
此解决方案需要大量工作才能创建所需的数据库,因此对于已知的小情况,请使用以下解决方案。
如果您知道自己没有太多条目,我建议使用纯文本文件(每种语言一个)。他们最容易管理。
您可以将其保存为原始资源,也可以保存在资产文件夹中。两者都相对容易读入字符串。然后你只需要调用String.split("\n")
并有一个数组,你可以从中随机选择一个。
或者,您可以将字符串放在字符串数组每个本地化 strings.xml 中,并使用以下资源加载所需数组:
Resources standardResources = context.getResources();
AssetManager assets = standardResources.getAssets();
DisplayMetrics metrics = standardResources.getDisplayMetrics();
Configuration config = new Configuration(standardResources.getConfiguration());
config.locale = yourLocale;
Resources resources = new Resources(assets, metrics, config);
(见:Load language specific string from resource?)
如源代码中所述,这似乎会覆盖从context.getResources()
返回的资源,也许您之后必须重置为之前的语言环境。
从Jellybean开始还有context.createConfigurationContext
,似乎没有这个问题。
在所有情况下,如果需要重复选择条目,最好缓存数组。
注意:此解决方案不能很好地扩展,因为必须将整个数组加载到内存中才能选择一个条目。因此,大型集合可能会超出您的堆或至少使用大量内存。
