Cannot convert from int to String from R.java

Question

I have a Dashboard.java file where I use strings.xml parsed in R.java auto generated file.

When I try to do:

    public String BASE_URL = R.string.BASE_URL;

Naturally will tell Cannot convert from int to String.

But that's what will be chosen from string.xml for the translation.

Is there a way around this?

Thanks

Use This

String BASE_URL = getResources().getString(R.string.BASE_URL);

or you can copy from the code below:

getResources().getString(R.string.BASE_URL);

     Resources res = getResources();
     String url = res.getString(R.string.hello_world);
     EditText et=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
     et.setText(url);
