How can I use string resources on a part of a label of an Activity?

Question

I am trying to set a part of the label of an Activity with a string resource from strings.xml file.

I have declared my String as follows:

<string name="companyName">Company</string>

And on my Manifest.xml file I have the label attribute as follows:

<activity
     android:name="com.example.user.company.MainActivity"
     android:label="Login on @string/companyName"
     ...>
</activity>

But it shows the String as it is, I mean, Login on @string/companyName instead of Login on Company.

I know that I can set an extra string resource that contains the text Login on Company and directly set that string resource to the label of my Activity but I would not want to create that extra String if possible.

How can I set it as a part of a String?

EDIT: I also know that I can change the title programatically as @PriyankaChauhan suggested:

this.setTitle("Login on " + getResources().getString(R.string.companyName));

but I prefer not to mix logic and presentation. This is the reason why I am looking for a XML solution.

Thanks in advance!

setContentView(R.layout.yourlayout); this.setTitle(getResources().getString(R.string.companyName) + "asdf"); add this line in activity — PriyankaChauhan, Dec 27 '16 at 10:44
@PriyankaChauhan Yes, I also thought about that option but I would like a solution with the XML if possible. If not, yes, I will go programatically. — Francisco Romero, Dec 27 '16 at 10:46
@PriyankaChauhan Yes, I also think there is no option for xml :'( — Francisco Romero, Dec 27 '16 at 10:52
@PriyankaChauhan Because I prefer not to mix logic with presentation because I also have the rest of the titles of all the Activities on the Manifest so I will want to have all together for a better maintainability. — Francisco Romero, Dec 27 '16 at 10:55
You can't do that. See this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/a/14758922/5280641 — Neria Nachum, Dec 27 '16 at 11:17
