Question

In Android, to access a string from the strings.xml file, we use R.string.string_id. Would it be possible to have a method such that we’ll use the string form of string_id? I mean can we for example have a method GetString("string_id") to retrieve R.string.string_id?

//Replace this with appropriate context
String name = "name_of_your_string_in_strings_xml_file_goes_here";
int resId = this.getResources().getIdentifier(name, "string", this.getPackageName());
String string = this.getResources().getString(resId);
