Google play resource override string value

I have app that supports few languages. When I use one of supported languages everything works pretty well, but when I use default language (phone on unsupported language(hebrew)) one of my strings overrides by string from play services package. As the result this specific string translates to unsupported language.(Hebrew) Resource path looks usual.
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/margin_10dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/iconFeedback"
android:elevation="3dp"
android:text="#string/accept"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:textSize="16dp"
android:textColor="#color/white" />
Why it can happens?
Thanks in advice

Android studio throws "Too much output to process error" on debug

Android studio throws "Too much output to process error" on debug.
I just started working on android development and trying to debug using my nexus 5 as a connected device.
Being a novice, I thought it was a memory issue and even closed all the background applications. In my single activity I am just displaying a background image and a button.
Please have a look at the layout xml...
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/backgroundimage"
android:weightSum="5"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#C9BDBD"
android:padding="5dp">
<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:textSize="20dp"
android:background="#6C7B8B"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:text="Become An Android Developer"
android:onClick="Congratulations!!! You are now initiated.."/>
</LinearLayout>

your Button's android:onClick should be a method in the Java code.
<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:textSize="20dp"
android:background="#6C7B8B"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:text="Become An Android Developer"
android:onClick="Congratulations!!! You are now initiated.."/>
something like
android:onClick="doSomthing"/>
and in the Java code:
public void doSomthing(View v){
...
...
...
}

As far as "too much output..." issue is concerned, you can mostly ignore it. Still it would make sense if you remove some of the really unnecessary Log lines from your code, especially from methods that are called repeatedly and frequently.
Another thing, i believe you want to show a text "Congratulations!!! You are now initiated.." when user clicks on button.
So change your xml's android:onClick to android:onClick= "myButtonClicked"
In the activity, implement this function
public void myButtonClicked(){
}
Finally, show the text "Congratulations!!! You are now initiated.." either via dialog (e.g. alertDialog) or in some textView

You may have selected "No Filters" in android monitor which causes "Too much output to process error", Change it to "Show only selected Application" then all other Log line are filtered and will not show in Logcat.

I have an application built that works for checking DND Status, it has an edittext field and a button. In edittext the user enters a mobile number and on click of button I want to check the DND status of in android. How to check DND status of a mobile number?
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edtNumber"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/txtHeading"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:ems="10"
android:inputType="number"

MigLayout for design android Forms

I am on a project. My instructor has told me to use MigLayout to design the forms in android. I am finding it difficult to find proper examples and while Using Eclipse for development its showing errors that android perfix is required to use the attributes.
please help me with some examples..
code that i pasted from the source site,mig4android.
<com.saynomoo.mig4android.MigLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
layout_constraints="wrap 4, debug 1"
column_constraints="[]15[75px]25[min]25[]"
row_constraints="[]15"
>
<TextView android:text="label1" component_constraints="skip"/>
<TextView android:text="label2" />
<TextView android:text="label3" component_constraints="wrap"/>
<TextView android:text="label4" />
<TextView android:text="label5" component_constraints="wmin 30"/>
<TextView android:text="label6" component_constraints="wmin 30"/>
<TextView android:text="label7" component_constraints="wmin 30"/>
</com.saynomoo.mig4android.MigLayout>
The component_constraints gave the error

This error means you forget to add android word before any attribute in xml file.
For example-
id="#+id/my_location"
You need to write android before id like below.
android:id="#+id/my_location"
Your code is perfect. But "skip" in component_constraints appears to be ignored. I had to manually add place holder to the layout to "fill in" empty spots. I tried "skip 1" and that also had no impact.
For more information see following link.
Skip as a constraint is not working

Android setting with TextView for Hebrew text?

I am setting text in TextView from string resource. Normally, Hebrew works in Right-To-Left format. When I set a text, it sets the text Right-To-Left format in LG, Samsung, Sony Phone but in HTC it does not work. It works in Left-To-Right format in HTC. Even I set Gravity to the TextView in Java file.
Text in TextView should be span according to the screen size. For example if it is 320 x 480 then it display in 4 lines but if it is Galaxy Tab then there may be 2 lines.
Here is my Code snippet:
In Java:
private TextView mVersionInfo, mVersionDescriptionOne, mVersionDescriptionTwo, mVersionDescriptionThree;
mVersionInfo = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.VersionInfo);
mVersionDescriptionOne = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.VersionDesc1);
mVersionDescriptionTwo = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.VersionDesc2);
mVersionDescriptionThree = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.VersionDesc3);
mVersionDescriptionOne.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT);
mVersionDescriptionTwo.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT);
mVersionDescriptionThree.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT);
in XML:
<TextView android:id="#+id/VersionDesc1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/versiondesc1" android:textColor="#000000"
android:layout_marginTop="5dip" android:gravity="right"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_marginRight="10dip"
android:layout_below="#+id/Share" android:textSize="13sp"
android:layout_alignRight="#+id/Body" />
<TextView android:id="#+id/VersionDesc2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/versiondesc2" android:textColor="#000000"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_marginRight="10dip"
android:layout_below="#+id/VersionDesc1" android:textSize="13sp"
android:layout_marginTop="5dip" android:gravity="right"
android:layout_alignRight="#+id/Body" />
<TextView android:id="#+id/VersionDesc3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/versiondesc3" android:textColor="#000000"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_marginRight="10dip"
android:layout_below="#+id/VersionDesc2" android:textSize="13sp"
android:layout_marginTop="5dip" android:gravity="right"
android:layout_alignRight="#+id/Body" />
In String Resource:
<string name="versiondesc1">האפליקציה מתחברת לאתר הספק הסלולרי כדי להציג את מצב החשבון. לעיתים, כשאתר הספק איננו עובד תקין לא יהיה ניתן לקבל מידע. באם אתר הספק ישתנה האפליקציה עלולה להפסיק לעבוד. במצב כזה האפליקציה תחזור לעבודה תקינה מיד לאחר שאנו נתאים את שרת התוכנה שלנו לשינויים.</string>
<string name="versiondesc2">הערה: אנחנו לא מייצגים את חברות הסלולר ולא נמצאים איתן בקשר מסוג כלשהו!</string>
<string name="versiondesc3">אם נתקלת בבעיה, השתמש/י בכפתור יצירת קשר על מנת שנוכל לפתור אותה. נשמח לקבל כל משוב על האפליקציה.</string>
What is wrong with my code?
Anybody who has worked with another language, Please guide me here.
Thanks.

Gravity will only affect alignment and will not set base direction for the text. That it works on some devices and not others may be a font issue, or perhaps an OS version issue. Try adding a RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARK character (\u200F) at the start of your text. This might help the display on an HTC and will not hurt anything on devices where it is already working.

here is an example from my hebrew string xml, Thanks to Ted Hopp's answer:
you need to add '\u200e' before the char that causes you the problem:
<string name="basic_text1">המר על תוצאת המשחק\u200e:</string>
and the result will be:
:המר על תוצאת המשחק
