Maybe this is not the primary reason we should do that, but this is how I persuaded me when I had to: You don't know if in the future you use the same string and you want to be sure it will be exactly the same as first use. For that case, you can keep the data somewhere else and use whenever you want.

About Image, if you know some HTML, it's like Alt attribute of image (img="" alt=""), Ben explains. Believe me, at least as this Android course goes, you wil never have to care about that caution.
