Is it possible to put variables inside string-resources? And if yes - how do i use them.
What i need is the following:
<string name="next_x_results">Next %X results</string>
and put an int in place of the %X.

<string name="meatShootingMessage">You shot %1$d pounds of meat!</string>
int numPoundsMeat = 123;
String strMeatFormat = getResources().getString(R.string.meatShootingMessage, numPoundsMeat);

FYI, Resources.getString(int resId, Object... formatArgs) is another method similar to String.format(), which takes the resource id and the Object arguments. Lets you skip that last step.

The flags' documentation: developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Formatter.html
Just pass it throught getString() function as formatArgs Object.
int nextResultsSize = getNextResultsSize();
String strNextResultsSize =
getResources().getString(R.string.next_x_results, nextResultsSize);
XML:
<string name="next_x_results">Next %1$d results</string>

<string name="message">You shot %1$d pounds of meat! Put Second Variable String here %2$s and third variable integer here %3$d</string>
int intVariable1 = 123;
String stringVariable2 = "your String";
int intVariable3 = 456;
String strMeatFormat = getResources().getString(R.string.message, intVariable1, stringVariable2 , intVaribale3);

How did you assign a string value to int in
stringVariable2?

@salman By using %2$s , I have assigned string value to string on 2nd place, not int
yes,you can use. after adding tag to string.xml file and then to retrrive the the same in your .java file you can follow this.
AndriodApp
String str = getResources().getString(R.string.name);
