How do I insert a string on an array from the strings.xml file, if I enter the following error I get the error getText(R.string.home)
Error: Cannot resolve method 'getText(int)'
static String[] titles ={"Home",
"Profile",
"Settings",
"Exit"};
You will need a Context object in order to be able to call the getString() method. The reason you can often write simply getString(R.string.foo) rather than something like mContext.getString(R.string.foo) is that the Activity class is a subclass of Context.
How exactly you get a Context object will depend on where you're trying to execute this code. In a Fragment, you can write getActivity().getString(R.string.foo).
Use getString() method as follows:
static String[] titles ={getString(R.string.home),
getString(R.string.profile),
getString(R.string.settings),
getString(R.string.exit)};
If you are not calling this in an Activity but in a fragment, you must use getActivity().getString. Hope that helps.
you can try in this way
<string-array name="home">
<item>Home</item>
<item>Profile</item>
<item>Settings</item>
<item>Exit</item>
</string-array>
String [] titles= getResources().getStringArray(R.array.home);
put you string array in like this on strings.xml file
<string-array name="menuItems">
<item>Home</item>
<item>Profile</item>
<item>Settings</item>
<item>Exit</item>
</string-array>
Access in your java file like this
String [] fruitsArray= getResources().getStringArray(R.array.menuItems);
