I have a strings.xml file that takes the following format (in general):
<string name="q0"></string>
<string name="q0a1"></string>
<string name="q0a2"></string>
<string name="q0a3"></string>
<string name="q0a4"></string>
<string name="q0KEY">1</string>
<string name="q0ANS">ans-a01</string>
There are 200+ questions and response sets. I am trying to select a random
one, (say q183) and then use the text in a text view like such:
Random rGenerator = new Random();
int randomQ = rGenerator.nextInt(204);
String Q_ID = 'q' + getString(randomQ);
List<Integer> intlist = new ArrayList<Integer>();
intlist.add(new Integer(1));
intlist.add(new Integer(2));
intlist.add(new Integer(3));
intlist.add(new Integer(4));
Collections.shuffle(intlist);
String ANS_ID1 = "R.string."+Q_ID + "a"+getString(intlist.get(0));
String ANS_ID2 = "R.string."+Q_ID + "a"+getString(intlist.get(1));
String ANS_ID3 = "R.string."+Q_ID + "a"+getString(intlist.get(2));
String ANS_ID4 = "R.string."+Q_ID + "a"+getString(intlist.get(3));
String Question = getString(R.string.Q_ID); //this is considedered a
syntax error by java/android
TextView QuestionView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.QuestionText);
QuestionView.setText(Question);
No matter how I construct (at least, as I can think of it) the text of the
string to pass as a parameter to the value of Question, I end up with
problems.
At this point I absolutely need to be able to choose an arbitrary string
from strings.xml, with the specific set of strings to follow.
Any help would be appreciated. Yes I know a database *might* be simpler,
but I cannot figure out the proper code to make this work either. The ONE
tutorial on the subject leaves out critical information. I really need help
on this.
Thanks
Ben
