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
