I have created a String array that contains the names of all the cities in India. So, I don't want to declare it again and again as I need it in many other JAVA classes. I am working in Android Studio. I use the Strings.xml file for declaring a simple string array. I don't understand what should I do?
public String[] cities= { "Bhandup","Mumbai","Visakhapatnam","Coimbatore","Delhi","Bangalore","Pune","Nagpur","Lucknow","Vadodara","Indore","Jalalpur","Bhopal","Kolkata","Kanpur","New Delhi","Faridabad","Rajkot","Ghaziabad","Chennai","Meerut","Agra","Jaipur","Jabalpur","Varanasi","Allahabad","Hyderabad","Noida","Howrah","Thane","Patiala","Chakan","Ahmedabad",

ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,cities);
city3.setThreshold(1);
city3.setAdapter(adapter);
I need the last lines of code in other classes too, but the array name "cities" will remain unknown there. How can I prevent not to write such long code of array again and again.
