How can I use resource strings in object? - Android

Question

I have a code in Android like this;

public static final String[] URLS = new String[]{"https://www.url1.com/","https://www.url2.com"};

I wanna make this code like this;

public static final String[] URLS = new String[]{"@strings/url_1","@strings/url_2"};

I tried too much code but it didn't work. What can I do about it? Thanks a lot.

@string resources are saved by there int references in R.java file. So, you can't use them directly. However, there is another way to do that.

You can use string-array in arrays.xml file. It would be like..

<string-array name="urls">
    <item>https://www.url1.com/</item>
    <item>https://www.url2.com/</item>
    <item>https://www.url3.com/</item>
</string-array>

In your Java Code, you can access it through following code.

public static final String[] URLS = context.getResources().getStringArray(R.array.urls);

You need to use Resources to get strings from android resources.Try below

Resources res = context.getResources(); public static final String[] URLS = new String[]{res.getString(R.string.url_1), res.getString(R.string.url_2)};
