How to use system string in android

Question

I want to use the system string "choose an app",and I find the id is "chooserview_choose_application".

I use it by getResources().getString(android.R.string.activitychooserview_choose_application but show error! I can only use such as "cancle","copy","no","ok".....! Is there anyway to solve it?

Answer 1

Most system resources are private and subject to change without warning. This includes the String resource you referenced.

Other resources (such as android.R.string.ok ) are public and provided by the SDK for your to use.

All the strings that are available in the SDK are listed here .
