动态查询一个String是Strings.xml文件

Question

Normally i am using getString(R.string.) to query strings in xml file. Is there any way to query xml file via getString(""). Because in my code i want to load the string present in resource file dynamically according to the condition. Any help would be really useful for me in learning android.

Answer 1

You can retrieve the id of a string resource dynamically as follows:

int resId = getResources().getIdentifier("key_name", "string", getPackageName());
Log.d("MyApp", "resource id is " + resId + " and value is " + getString(resId));

Where key_name is the name of a string in your strings.xml.

I hope I have understood your question correctly.
