Ressources files xml like strings.xml can only be use for read only you cannot set values dynamically, you can see it like a final variable

When you provide a data as a Resource, it can't be modified during run time. This applies to Strings.xml, Drawables, Values etc.. You should consider to create a separate class and have your strings placed in this Class and access them.

I suggest to use a ViewModel, you can save your strings inside of it and you can be sure that you will not loose them when your view will be recreated for some reason
