You cannot programmatically modify the resources.

What you can do is to create a separate list of strings and initially copy the strings from the resources into it. You can then modify the list as you wish.

Resource files are constants you can't change them in the run time , but there are some alternatives you can do , take look on it :

How do I generate XML resources at runtime on Android?

Is it possible to change the value of a string added in res/strings.xml on Android at run time/ or by code?
