Question

Resource not found, which is declared in another XML files in Res > Values folder.

I’ve created an array of string called questions.xml in Res > questions.xml in which I’ve created arrays of question and answers.

Those array’s are populated while coding R.array.questions, but while running the code it throws an ResourceNotFound Exception, at that line.

Please give me solution.

Copying the android dev guide:

res/values/filename.xml
The filename is arbitrary. The element’s name will be used as the resource ID.

Make sure your xml contains the string array named correctly. Follow the example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <string-array name="questions">
        <item>How do I create a string array?</item>
        <item>Will this work?</item>
        <item>Why didn't I paste the whole xml in the question?</item>
    </string-array>
    <string-array name="answers">
        <item>Like this</item>
        <item>Yep</item>
        <item>No idea</item>
    </string-array>
</resources>

You can save it with any name, such as res/values/whatevername.xml and you reference them in the code as R.array.questions and R.array.answers.
