Android: Dynamic Button Names

Question

I want to change the text on some buttons dynamically. All necessary text is saved at the strings.xml and the reference name is saved in a Json Object.

Anyone knows how i can get the data from strings.xml for my setText function?

JSONObject e = Options.getJSONObject(i); 
//The Name for strings.xml
String name = e.getString("name");

Resources res = getResources();
button1.setText(String.format(res.getString(R.string. ??????????? )));

Use something like this

getResources().getIdentifier(name, "string", “com.main.package”));

or better:

getResources().getIdentifier(name, "string", getPackageName()));

You can get the any string from String.xml by

 getString(R.string.string_name);
