When you put 'R.string.x' in your java code, that's mapped to an int at build time in a file R.java created by the SDK. Eclipse therefore never know what R.string.y means with reference to another package because it doesn't have R.java available for that package. So yes, you have to use the int. However, if you really want to use the resource name: int id = otherRes.getResourceByName( "y", "string", otherPackageName); otherRes.getString( id ); By name is slower though.
