Question

I know this is a simple question, but I can’t figure out how to reference strings in android.
for example

on this EditText, I don’t want to hardcode the string hi, I want it to reference a string in the res folder. How do I do this?

Answer 1

Suppose you have following string in xml.

<string name="string_one">My string</string>

You have to access this in code :

String str = resources.getString(R.string.string_one);

You can also used in xml where you have take EditText :

android:text="@string/string_one"
