Optional use of UTF-8 strings in resource bundles
Allows the use of UTF-8 for packing resources instead of the
default of UTF-16 for Java. When strings are extracted from the
ResStringPool, they are converted to UTF-16 and the result is
cached for subsequent calls.
When using aapt to package, add in the "-8" switch to pack the
resources using UTF-8. This will result in the value, key, and
type strings as well as the compiled XML string values taking
significantly less space in the final application package in
most scenarios.
