Below is the code that i made to retrieve the string array item:
String[] menuArray;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
ScrollView sv = new ScrollView(this);
LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(this);
ll.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
sv.addView(ll);
// Create an ArrayAdapter that will contain all list items
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter;
menuArray = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.menu);
for(int i = 0; i < menuArray.length; i++)
{
Button b = new Button(this);
b.setText(menuArray[i]);
ll.addView(b);
}
this.setContentView(sv);
}
This is the strings.xml file:
<string-array name="menu">
<item>1</item>
<item>2</item>
<item>3</item>
</string-array>
However, the R.array.menu having this issue to compile: As of ADT 14, resource fields cannot be used as switch cases. Invoke this fix to get more information.
