Yep, Use reflection on the R.string class for strings. Or use reflection on the R.drawable class if you need to map strings to drawables.
Query the (publicly) declared fields of R.string using reflection. The code below doesn't follow your example mappings exactly, but you'll get the idea: String key = "foo"; Field stringField = R.string.class.getField(mymap.get(key)); int stringFieldId = stringField.getInt(null); String stringFieldValue = getResources().getString(stringFieldId); On Apr 11, 2:48 pm, HippoMan <hippo.mail...@gmail.com> wrote: > In my app, I'd like to define some static resources in an xml file > which can be accessed via a HashMap.
