Yes you can.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string-array name="planets_array">
<item>Mercury</item>
<item>Venus</item>
<item>Earth</item>
<item>Mars</item>
</string-array>
</resources>
And get them like this
Resources res = getResources();
String[] planets = res.getStringArray(R.array.planets_array);

1No. strings.xml cannot be changed in the Runtime. But you can use SharedPreferences to save your strings there. – Bojan Kseneman May 03 '15 at 12:44
