 Hi Nurg,

 This is probably too late to help you, but maybe others would like to
 know.
 I've just posted a solution at

 Best of luck!

  resources
          string-array name=pets
                  itemcat/item
                  itemdog/item
          /string-array

          integer-array name=cat
                  item@drawable/cat/item
                  item@raw/cat_meow1/item
                  item@raw/cat_meow2/item
          /integer-array

          integer-array name=dog
                  item@drawable/dog/item
                  item@raw/dog_bark1/item
                  item@raw/dog_bark2/item
          /integer-array
  /resources

  And in my code:

      private void setPet(String petType) {
          int arrayId = mResources.getIdentifier(petType, array,
  getPackageName());
          int[] petResids = mResources.getIntArray(arrayId);

          BACKGROUND = petResids[0];
          SOUND_PET1 =  petResids[1];
          SOUND_PET2 =  petResids[2];
      }

  What I am seeing:
     - The arrayId value is getting set to the correct resource id.
     - If I hardcode the resource ids (from R.java) in array.xml,
  everything works.
     - However, using the @ notation does not work -- the petResids
  array is filled with zeroes.

  I know that one can reference strings from the strings.xml file,
  colors from the colors.xml file, etc.  Is it the case that the @
  references are evaluated for only some XML files (like those in the
  layout or menu directories)?  Or am I missing something more
  fundamental?- Hide quoted text -
