Create string illimitate in java android

Question

I'm sorry, i didn't have any code for the moment but i need help.

My android application : In a string-array, i have a lot of sentences (declared on a .xml file).

In my android application i want this : User can create her sentences (illimitate) and stock it in xml file.

How can i make a function who add somes sentences to a .xml file.

If it's not possible, how can i make it

Exemple : In my app, i have :

    <string-array name="MyStringArra1">
        <item>My Sentence 1</item>
        <item>My Sentence 2</item>
</string-array>

And if user add : Sentence 3, i want put it in this file.

Yes. I want add elements to "MyStringArray_user" when he add sentences — Alex Frasure

@AlexFrasure If i'm guessing correctly you wanna add/store extra sentences in a resource file, for each user / install individually? If so, there's a problem. The files under resources are meant to be read-only. You can however try other datastores in the Android ecosystem. developer.android.com/training/basics/data-storage/files.html would be a great place to start. Just read another file from storage in onStart etc and in onStop write all the new lines to that same file. — MrKickkiller

You cannot modify resource files from your Android application as they are compiled into your app, and therefore don't even exist on your device. If you want your user to be able to insert/edit/remove strings from a list, you must use a database or Shared Preferences.

The following link guides you into creating a ToDo list application, which is basically a list of strings. Starting Android Development, Creating a Todo App
