its not possible to reference an individual string from an array. One work around would be to separate the array into strings and then build the array from those strings.

<string name="details_email">Email:</string>
<string name="details_subject">Subject:</string>

<string-array name="details">
    <item >@string/details_email</item>
    <item >@string/details_subject</item>
</string-array>`

That way you can still have your array and reference individual strings
