Taking an example from the Dev Guide - you can do it like this: http://d.android.com/guide/samples/ApiDemos/res/values/arrays.html
In res/values/arrays.xml: <resources> <!-- Used in View/Spinner1.java --> <string-array name="colors"> <item>red</item> <item>orange</item> <item>yellow</item> <item>green</item> <item>blue</item> <item>violet</item> </string-array> </resources> //java code Resources res = this.getResources(); String[] arr = res.getStringArray(R.array.colors); for(int i=0; i<arr.length-1; i++) { Log.i("TEST", arr[i]); } So R.array.colors is your reference. You can create an ArrayList and add this array to it if necessary. mafro Videoguy wrote: > Is is possible to specify data in xml resource file and initialize > ArrayList from it? > I am looking for a way to use the ArrayList with a SimpleAdapter to > bind to a ListView. > I am wondering if there is a way to specify my data in xml resource > file and init ArrayList from it. > > Videoguy --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
