how to read value from string.xml in android?

Question

I have written the line:

String Mess = R.string.mess_1 ;

to get string value, but instead of returning string, it is giving me id of type integer. How can I get its string value? I mentioned the string value in the string.xml file.

Answer 1

You can use this code:

 getText(R.string.mess_1); 

Basically, you need to pass the resource id as a parameter to the getText() method.

Answer 2

getString(R.string.your_string) get the result

Answer 3

I'm using this:

String URL = Resources.getSystem().getString(R.string.mess_1);

Answer 4

If you are in an activity you can use

getResources().getString(R.string.whatever_string_youWant);

If you are not in an Activity use this :

getApplicationContext.getResource().getString(R.String.Whatever_String_you_want)
