How can I get String in String[]?

Question

String[] string = {getResourse().getString(R.string.girl), getResourse().getString(R.string.boy), getResourse().getString(R.string.child)};// Why is this code not working

And I tried do like this

String[] string = {getString(R.string.girk)....};

And also I tried do like

String[] string = {R.string.girl...};

Everything is not working, or it is impossible?

Have you tried -> String[] strings = new String[] {getResourse().getString(R.string.girl)}; ? — Tiago Dávila

First of all, R.string.girl is int type.

If you really want to define it programatically like below,

String[] string2 = {getString(R.string.app_name)};

You should define it when your Activity/fragment's context is avaliable. For example, you can define it inside onCreate method but it is impossible to define it as a global variable (Because getString is the method of Context class).
