To set the defaults in the firebase remoteconfig we need to use for example a xml with the content...

Asume that the file is placed in res/xml/ and it is named remoteconfigdefaults.xml

it contains:



How do i get the id of the xml to use it in the wrapper?

B4X:

    /**
     * Sets defaults in the default namespace,
     * using an XML resource.
     * @param resourceId
     */
    public void setDefaults (String resource){
         BA.Log("Calling SetDefaults... "+resource);
        int resourceId=BA.applicationContext.getResources().getIdentifier(resource, "string", BA.packageName);
         BA.Log("resourceID="+resourceId);
        getObject().setDefaults(resourceId);
    }

i tried it with

B4X:

 int resourceId=BA.applicationContext.getResources().getIdentifier(resource, "string", BA.packageName);

with

B4X:

 int resourceId=BA.applicationContext.getResources().getIdentifier(resource, "xml", BA.packageName);

and i tried it with remoteconfigdefaults and remoteconfigdefaults.xml as string in the methodcall.

All does not work and results in a resourceId of 0

How do i get the id of an xml resource? Where do i need to place the xml?

the content is not a string resource. the code above will work fine for strings in a strings.xml. But it must be RESOURCES

i dont think it will help to use values/string here as getIdentifier does expect a TYPE there. string, id, drawable works... But dont know how to get an id of an unknown xml.
