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.
