How to put variable inside string-resources?

Is it possible to put variables inside string-resources? And if yes - how do i use them.

What i need is the following:

<string name="next_x_results">Next %X results</string>

and put an int in place of the %X.

Just pass it throught getString() function as formatArgs Object.

int nextResultsSize = getNextResultsSize();
String strNextResultsSize = 
     getResources().getString(R.string.next_x_results, nextResultsSize);

XML:

<string name="next_x_results">Next %1$d results</string>
