Question

Ok I have not done a very good job explaining my problem so here goes revised a few times.

I have a Survey, The Survey Produces an Integer Number. I Convert this Number into a String File name Which relates to a Preset String stored in my resources. Based on the choices made on the questions a different string is required at the end.

This code generates the desired command line; R.string.c####

    int Q1 = question1.getmCounter();
int Q2 = question2.getmCounter();
int Q3 = question3.getmCounter();
int Q4 = question4.getmCounter();

int qTotal = Q1 + Q2 + Q3 + Q4;
String Test5 = "R.string.c" + qTotal;

And This code is inside onCreate to generate the content for the TextView.

        textOut = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.ChmpNametxt);
    textOut.setText(Test5);

Now my concept was that it would read Test5 as “R.string.c####” and load the desired string. It does not do this and i would like to know how i can get the contents of Test5 into a commandline.

Hope someon can help me im malting..

Thanks in Advance

You got the correct answer here already: Creating Strings than can be used as Filepath – Eclipse / Android

In your case:

String stringId = "c" + qTotal; //note: not the same as what you did with your Test5
int resId = getResources().getIdentifier(stringId, "string", getPackageName());
textOut.setText(resId);

Or are we misunderstandig your use of the word “commandline”?
