Is it possible to get string from string-array in xml file? I need to a string not string-array :)

strings.xml

<string-array name="link_categories">
    <item>http://google.com</item>
    <item>http://yahoo.com</item>
  </string-array>

Brabra.java

 WebPageCurrent = getResources().getString(get string from string array);

Why can you not just take the item at the index in the array? .getResources().getStringArray(R.array.link_cetagories)[0] – daentech Jul 1 at 10:55

To get String from strings.xml you should have key for that String.But in the above you have key for String array so you have to get String array from that you have to get required String.

CurrentWebpage = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.link_categories)[0];

Hope this will helps you.

You need to write below code :-

Context con=getApplicationContext();
String[] your_array = con.getResources().getStringArray(R.array.your_array_string);

Now you have string array and you can pick your string from your array .

WebPageCurrent = your_array[0];// may be [1],[2]
