Let say I have 2 arrays
Array1 = 1,2,3,4,5
Array2 = a,b,c,d,e
String[] array = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.Array1);
That's work fine. But I don't want to use the code above again with another line
String[] array = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.Array2);
How do I get the below lines to work if I had declared xxx as variable for array name
String xxx = Array1;
String[] array = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.xxx);
You can:
int xxx = R.array.Array1; //change to integer
String[] array = getResources().getStringArray(xxx); //pass the whole id
Instead of passing just the name of the resource, pass the whole ID (as integer).
If you still want to pass the name as string, you can:
String xxx = "Array1";
int resourceId = getResources().getIdentifier(xxx, "array", getPackageName());
String[] array = getResources().getStringArray(resourceId);
reference of the second option: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3476447/9038584
A simple util method in your activity or service:
String[] getArray(int id) {
return getResources().getStringArray(id);
}
Usage:
String[] array1 = getArray(R.array.array1);
