Eclipse/ADT xml string to strings.xml automatically?

Question

If I have the following in a layout XML:

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="string Test" />

it flags the 4th line "Hardcoded string should use @string resource" Fine, I know that, and would like to. Is there an option to select this line and have the IDE automatically add a <string></string> to the strings.xml and replace the android:text= to refer to that resource?

I think this is not possible because their is no any plugins of eclipse to do this..:( — Born To Win

Yes, there is an option to do this by selecting the text and have the IDE automatically do the job, just thank to JAL :

How to add string resources in Eclipse?

By the way, in JAL's answer, when he says GO TO REFACTOR, he means REFACTOR in the menu bar, not right click's context menu.
