My main reason is that I want to have public static final mapped
values available to a number of classes. This way, I can instantiate
other static final fields using some of the mappings in this HashMap.
I can't do that if I have to decode an XML file at run time.
If I could dereference R.string.* values via a static method call, I
would be able to directly create a static class containing the
HashMap, as follows:
public class Static {
public static final Map<String, String> map = new
ConcurrentHashMap<String, String>() {{
put(X.getString(R.string.string0),
"foo-item");
put("abc",
X.getString(R.string.string1));
put(X.getString(R.string.string2),
X.getString(R.string.string3));
}};
}
... where "X" is a hypothetical class that could be used to statically
retrieve the R.string.* values. But since I can only access these
strings via a method call off of an instantiated Context object, I'm
out of luck. This is another reason for why I'd like to generate a
public static final HashMap.
Whether these reasons are considered to be "compelling" is up to the
beholder.
Given that there appears to be no way to do this using standard
Android facilities, your XSLT suggestion seems to be a good one.
Thank you very much.
And yes, I did indeed mean something like @string/string0.
