Possible Duplicate:
Android dynamic String Resources

I have the following:

TextView text = (TextView)vi.findViewById(R.id.text);
TextView txtSub = (TextView)vi.findViewById(R.id.txtSub);
TextView txtA = (TextView)vi.findViewById(R.id.txtA);
TextView txtB = (TextView)vi.findViewById(R.id.txtB);

Is it possible to access these using a String instead (this just pseudocode)?

String resourceName = "text";
TextView text = (TextView)vi.findViewById(R.id. + resourceName);

    Use Resources.getIdentifier():

    int resource = getResources().getIdentifier("R.id."+resourceName, "string", getPackageName());
    TextView text = (TextView)vi.findViewById(resource);
