How to DISPLAY an array of strings on android [closed]

Well, if you wanted to display them in a ListView, use an ArrayAdapter and add the strings to the adapter.

Btw, if the array is in your string resources, use getResources().getStringArray(R.array.id) to get the array from your code.

You can use ListView component.

list_cars.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:padding="10dp"
    android:textSize="20sp" >
</TextView>


public class ListCarsActivity extends ListActivity {

static final String[] CARS = new String[] { "BWM", "Volvo", "Mersedes-Benz",
        "Honda", "Toyota", "Nexia", "Wolkswagen", "CHevrolet",
        "Ferrari", "Volga", "Porshe", "Bentley", "Bugatti" };

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    //  it is not needed
    // setContentView(R.layout.list_cars);

    setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.list_cars,CARS));

    ListView listView = getListView();
    listView.setTextFilterEnabled(true);

    listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                int position, long id) {
            // When clicked, show a toast with the TextView text
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
            ((TextView) view).getText(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    });

}

}
