Answer 1

For example, let's get the string-array with the ID of entryvalues_font_size from the package com.android.settings

String[] enries = null;
try {
    // You can get PackageManager from the Context
    Resources res = getPackageManager().getResourcesForApplication("com.android.settings");
    int resId = res.getIdentifier("entryvalues_font_size", "array", "com.android.settings");
    if (resId != 0) {
        enries = res.getStringArray(resId);
    }
}
catch (NameNotFoundException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
