If you want to add the value from strings.xml to TextView in mainactivity.xml , add the following line of code to your xml
android:text="@string/Std_Name"
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_marginTop="5sp"
android:lineSpacingExtra="2sp"
android:text="@string/Std_Name" // Add this line to your textView
android:textColor="@color/yellow_dark"
android:textSize="@dimen/activity_text_size_small"
android:textStyle="normal" />
Or, if you want to add text from strings.xml to textview from MainActivity.java, add the following code
TextView textView = findViewById(R.id.textView1);
textView.setText(getResources().getString(R.string.Std_Name));

From within an XML layout, you can use the @string/resourceName syntax within the text string to reference a string resource:
android:text="@string/resourceName"
Using the Std_Name string resource from your example, that would look something like this:
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/Std_Name" />
Official documentation for string resources can be found here. You can also find a good example in the Accessing resources from XML section of the App resources overview.

Try this
String myName = getResources().getString(R.string.Std_Name);
String myPhone = getResources().getString(R.string.Std_Phone);
// Then do whatever you want with these values
