AndroidStr will allow you to get all the strings in your android strings.xml files into an excel spreadsheet. And vice versa.
The primary purpose of AndroidStr is to help with creating an excel file of strings for translation.
Once the translations are ready in the excel file, the same can be used to generate strings.xml for each language.
AndroidStr is a python script and requires you to have python installed on your computer.
