android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: String array resource ID #0x7f070002

Question

I\'m having problem getting a string array for strings.xml .

The error is:

android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: String array resource ID         


        

Answer 1

Make sure you don't have variants of the values resources, with the string array defined only for a subset of the variants. For example:

values-v21/strings.xml - defined
values/strings.xml - not defined

If the resource is present in at least one variant, you get the entry in R and can refer to it in code, but the runtime resource file variant does not necessarily have the resource.

Answer 2

I also have the same error. I simply Invalidated caches and restart android studio and everything works fine then. To Invalidated caches and restart Goto Files > Invalidate Caches/restart. This is some sort of bug of the android studio it happens to me several times.

Answer 3

I got this error because I used TextView.setText(int) to set a number in the text. The problem is that Android thinks that the integer is a ressource id. Therefore I should encapsulate the interger inside of String.valueOf(int) so the code becomes TextView.setText(String.valueOf(int));

Answer 4

in my case array.xml was in w820dp version. i just created another in values.xml without w820dp. Works!!!

Answer 5

Do this to render Integer to textview

TextView.setText(String.valueOf(int));

Answer 6

I solve the problem. Juste create a values/strings.xml file with all your string values define in values-v21/strings.xml.
