According to the reply in English (here) and the reference (here), put this code in xml:

<string name="meatShootingMessage">You shot %1$d pounds of meat!</string>

And so in the code:

 int numPoundsMeat = 123;
String strMeatFormat = getResources().getString(R.string.meatShootingMessage);
String strMeatMsg = String.format(strMeatFormat, numPoundsMeat);

EDIT:

Since one can have several variables within a.xml string, they are numbered and typed. A % indicates the variable number, indicating the order in which it will be filled in programmatically. The $ defines the variable type. As exemplified in the links above, it can be $s for string, or $d for a number.
