How can I access a static java variable in a resource in strings.xml in the android studio?
I have a variable like this:
public static final String NUM_OF_DAYS = "10";
Now,
I want to use this somehow in strings.xml in a resource.
EDIT:
I just want to use the string.xml resource (which will access NUM_OF_DAYS) in a java file.
You can use your variable like this
public static final String NUM_OF_DAYS = "10";
string.xml
<string name="days">No of days: %s</string>
Java class
YOUR_VIEW.settext(getString(R.string.days, NUM_OF_DAYS));
Hey you can not do such thing we do not edit string.xml from java code
Because getString() is non-static you need a static Context for that.
In manifest file declare following
<application android:name="com.xyz.YourApplication">
</application>
Then wripte following class
public class YourApplication extends Application {
private static Context context;
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
YourApplication.context = getApplicationContext();
}
public static Context getAppContext() {
return YourApplication.context;
}
}
Now you can use static context everywhere you need
private static final String NUM_OF_DAYS = YouApplication.getAppContext()
.getString(R.string.yourString);
