Answer 1

I have not missunderstood you

int id = getResources().getIdentifier("name_of_resource","string", getPackageName());

is what you neeed

Answer 2

Just for example I am accessing Drawable. You can get id from name as follows

Resources res = context.getResources();
String strpckg = context.getPackageName();

int id = res.getIdentifier(iconName, "drawable", strpckg);

further you can access Drawable as :

Drawable drawable = res.getDrawable(id);
