getString Outside of a Context or Activity

Question

I\'ve found the R.string pretty awesome for keeping hardcoded strings out of my code, and I\'d like to keep using it in a utility class that works with models i

Answer 1

BTW, one of the reason of symbol not found error may be that your IDE imported android.R; class instead of yours one. Just change import android.R; to import your.namespace.R;

So 2 basic things to get string visible in the different class:

//make sure you are importing the right R class
import your.namespace.R;

//don't forget about the context
public void some_method(Context context) {
   context.getString(R.string.YOUR_STRING);
}
