In Symbian mobile application development, resource files are used for +defining user interface components and visible text. The advantage of using +resource files include:

+
    +
  • making source code shorter and simpler

  • +
  • saving memory, because text is loaded only when needed

    +

  • making it easier to implement localization to different language +groups
