Get string value from XML to Java source program

Question

I need to know if there is a way to get String type data from strings.xml (nested in resource tag)

<resources>
    <string name="app_name">One World</string>
    <string name="action_settings">Settings</string>
    <string name="hello_world">Hello world!</string>
    <string name="productInfo_lanIP">LAN IP Address :\t</string>
</resources>

and I need to get productInfo_lanIP from this and use it in my MainActivity.java to perform insertion of another string into this one.

Note: I am updating the value so I can use it to display it just after through an XML page. And I am using Android 4.2.2
