Just what are you trying to achieve? If you're actually wanting a hash map, efficiently populated on class loading, then Streets of Boston's approach won't help you -- nor will aapt.
To do what you actually ask for, you could write an XSLT script to generate the necessary java code. One of the things you'd have to deal with is handling the @+id/string0 stuff. Well, actually that makes no sense at all. I think you mean something like @string/string0? You'd have to make your XSLT script handle your strings.xml other values files, and map to the appropriate strings. That's probably easiest done as a separate step to consolidate them into a single temporary file. In other words, it's not all that hard to create something like this, given a compelling reason. Do you have a compelling reason? Is there a reason to not just read the XML resource and process it at runtime?
