In Android, apostrophe ( ' ) is one of the characters that when used in resources of the type string , must be inserted in a escape sequence or, alternatively, put the entire string in quotation marks ( " ).

In your case the problem is in the you're part of the string "screen3":

<string name="tela3">Please note, if you're on a device with android 6.0 above, you need the permissions that the app request the following screens to the proper functioning</string>

Put the \ character before the apostrophe to create the escape sequence:

<string name="tela3">Please note, if you\'re on a device with android 6.0 above, you need the permissions that the app request the following screens to the proper functioning</string>

or enclose the entire string in quotation marks:

<string name="tela3">"Please note, if you're on a device with android 6.0 above, you need the permissions that the app request the following screens to the proper functioning"</string>

Another character that needs the same treatment is the quotation marks which, in this case, can only be solved using the escape sequence.

<string name="exemplo">Isto é um \"bom\" exemplo</string>
