How to get a String array with java code from the list <string-item> in the arrays.xml file in Android?

Question

I want to get an array of strings reading from the arrays.xml file that we add to android values. Can someone kindly give a solution for this. Otherwise, I will have to enter each of these entries in the strings.xml file and pass them into java code using getResources()getString()

Thanks. Tharindu

Answer 1

I don't have an IDE in front of me right now, but I think you should do something like R.res.arrays.YOUR_ARRAY_OF_STRINGS.

Answer 2

 getResources().getStringArray(R.array.umc_profile_values); 

4 worked for me!

Answer 3

 Resources res = getResources(); String[] name = res.getStringArray(R.array.name_array); 

Answer 4

 <resources> <string name="app_name">App name</string> ... <string-array name="scale"> <item>Excellent</item> <item>Good</item> <item>Fair</item> <item>Poor</item> </string-array> </resources> 

If you want to get 1 element in an array using java

 String val1 = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.scale)[0]; 

Or you can get everything

 String[] values = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.scale);
