Getting string instead of defining it in Java

Question

I'm trying to get a string from strings.xml into my Java file:

This is my Java code:

public class LGDial extends ActionBarActivity{
public static final String[] titles = new String[] { "Strawberry",
        "Banana", "Orange", "Mixed" };

Can someone please tell me how to define the text in strings.xml then get it.

Thank you in advance,

If you want to use Strings in xml, you need to set like this first in your strings.xml of res/values.

<string name="app_name">Your App</string>

then you can use the string you want like below.

getString(R.string.app_name);

I hope it will help for you.
