I want to create a string-array inside another string-array like this:

<string-array name="names">
        <string-array name="man">
            <item>Jake</item>
          </string-array>
            <string-array name="woman">
            <item>Loise</item>
          </string-array>
</string-array>

But I don't know how to access to de string-array inside the main string-array. Before doing it this way, I had organized all names in the same string-array and I accessed this way:

String names[] = res.getStringArray(R.array.names);

But now I need to classify the data. How can I access to the SUB string-arrays?

Thank you in advance!

The outer array should be an array, not a string array (since it's not holding strings anymore). You want to declare the string arrays separately, and then an array with references to these string arrays as described here (SO-thread, see accepted answer). Retrieval is also explained.
