When using resValue to add a "string resource" number longer than 4 Bytes; when read, the resource is treated as an "integer resource" (that can overflow) and then cast to a String, resulting in a wrong value.

Host OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
SDK tools version: 23.0.5
Android Studio version: 0.8.14
Android gradle plugn: com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.13.3

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Add to build.gradle
    android {
        compileSdkVersion 21
        buildToolsVersion '21.0.2'
        defaultConfig {
            minSdkVersion 10
            targetSdkVersion 19
        }
        buildTypes {
            debug {
                resValue "string", "NOTQUOTED", "ABC"
                resValue "string", "QUOTED", "\"ABC\""
                resValue "string", "DOUBLEQUOTED", "\"\"ABC\"\""
                resValue "string", "FAIL", "4294967296"/*This number is 0x100000000*/
                resValue "string", "FAILFIX", "\"4294967296\""
            }
        }    
    }
2. Note the quotes on the generated resources (all of type string)
    <!-- Values from build type: debug -->
    <item name="NOTQUOTED" type="string">ABC</item>
    <item name="QUOTED" type="string">"ABC"</item>
    <item name="DOUBLEQUOTED" type="string">""ABC""</item>
    <item name="FAIL" type="string">4294967296</item>
    <item name="FAILFIX" type="string">"4294967296"</item>
3. Read the values procedurally
    Log.d("","NOTQUOTED is "+getString(R.string.NOTQUOTED));
    Log.d("","QUOTED "+getString(R.string.QUOTED));
    Log.d("","DOUBLEQUOTED is "+getString(R.string.DOUBLEQUOTED));
    Log.d("","FAIL is "+getString(R.string.FAIL));
    Log.d("","FAILFIX is "+getString(R.string.FAILFIX));

OBSERVED RESULTS, Note the output ZERO for R.string.FAIL:
    D/﹕ NOTQUOTED is ABC
    D/﹕ QUOTED ABC
    D/﹕ DOUBLEQUOTED is ABC
    D/﹕ FAIL is 0
    D/﹕ FAILFIX is 4294967296

EXPECTED RESULTS, As all items are of type string:
    D/﹕ NOTQUOTED is ABC
    D/﹕ QUOTED ABC
    D/﹕ DOUBLEQUOTED is ABC
    D/﹕ FAIL is 4294967296
    D/﹕ FAILFIX is 4294967296



ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 1:
Even if the "@string/FAIL" item is referenced in a meta-data inside AndroidManifest, the wrong value ZERO is picked.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 2:
When adding the resources manually as <string> to resources:
    <string name="DOUBLEQUOTED">""ABC""</string>
    <string name="FAIL">4294967296</string>
    <string name="FAILFIX">"4294967296"</string>
    <string name="NOTQUOTED">ABC</string>
    <string name="QUOTED">"ABC"</string>
The observed results are the expected results
    D/﹕ NOTQUOTED is ABC
    D/﹕ QUOTED ABC
    D/﹕ DOUBLEQUOTED is ABC
    D/﹕ FAIL is 4294967296
    D/﹕ FAILFIX is 4294967296
