Adding country codes as well. about country-list

[umpirsky]

Hey, thanks for your feedback.

I will keep this list simple, so, no additional data except country codes and names. But we can run separate project for calling codes.

I will add string-array format for Android XML ;)

What is better:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string-array name="countries">
<item iso="AF">Afghanistan</item>
<item iso="AL">Albania</item>
</string-array>
</resources>

or:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <string name="AF">Afghanistan</string>
   <string name="AL">Albania</string>
</resources>

?

Because with 2nd format, you can directly access country by iso code, right?

I guess the first one is better to use.

Android resource XML would be great! Not sure which of two options is better, but you have a point that the 2nd format is probably more efficient. With the first format the whole array must be loaded just to get one string.

Perhaps, for format#2, you could prefix the resource names to prevent name clash, e.g use name="cc_AF" rather than just "AF".
