I have the following in my res/values/config.xml file
<string-array name="languages">
<item display="english" code="GB" lang="en" flag="flag_uk" values="en-GB" eng="English (United Kingdom)" />
<item display="svenska" code="SE" lang="sv" flag="flag_sv" values="sv" eng="Swedish" />
</string-array>
I think you get the picture. I cannot seem to access the item properties. Hows does one do this. Also IS this the correct approach to this?
This is a string array. You can access the whole of it by using:
getResources().getStringArray()
from a context. It will return a simple array that you can iterate.
You cannot access multiple properties with a string-array in values as far as i know.
But what you see here is XML. you can parse the XML with an XML parser.
What i would suggest as the best option for static data is to have this as an XML file into assets or values/raw and use an XML parser to parse into an array of objects.
Alternatively you can save it as JSON so its easier to parse.
try this:
Android Java; How can I parse a local JSON file from assets folder into a ListView
