Access a resource name programmatically

Question

I have many string arrays in my resource files, and I want to access them programmatically depending on user input.

int c = Getter.getCurrentNumber();

Answer 1

You can get the resource id like so

int c = Getter.getCurrentNumber();
String resource = "n_" + c;
int id = getResources().getIdentifier(resource, "array", "com.your.project");

Then just use that id

String[] info = getResources().getStringArray(id);

Have a look here for another example on getResources().getIdentifier().
