EDIT :
No, every item of a StringArray must always be a String, of course. So it can't be another StringArray
check the Documentation on resources, scroll to StringArray
name
String. A name for the array. This name will be used as the resource ID to reference the array.
here's an eg
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string-array name="planets_array">
<item>Mercury</item>
<item>Venus</item>
<item>Earth</item>
<item>Mars</item>
</string-array>
</resources>
This application code retrieves a string array:
Resources res = getResources();
String[] planets = res.getStringArray(R.array.planets_array);
