Android Replace "..." with ellipsis character

Since AVD tools 16 I'm getting this warning:

Replace "..." with ellipsis character (..., …) ?

in my strings.xml

at this line

 <string name="searching">Searching...</string>

How do I replace ...? Is it just literally &#8230;?

Could someone explain this encoding?


&#8230; is the unicode for "" so just replace it. It's better to have it as one char/symbol than three dots.


To make thing short just put &#x2026; in place ...
