I am making a basic todo list app in android studio for practice. I want users to be able to type a description of a task they need to do in an EditText view. The program should store that task in the strings.xml file, and append that new task to a list so it can be displayed using a recyclerview.

The problem I am having is that my TODOItem class takes in an int (representing the StringResourceID). When I take in a value from the EditText view it is a String. How can I make a string into a StringResourceID that is stored in the string.xml file when the user presses a button? Landing page with list of tasks When user presses add, title of task should add to strings.xml

    The strings.xml file is not editable. Maybe its not even there. – blackapps Jun 14 '21 at 19:54
  • You cannot manipulate the string.xm resource file dynamically. Check this if it helps: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37496454/is-it-possible-to-update-string-xml-file-at-run-time-in-android – Akki Jun 14 '21 at 19:56
  • Try using a database like SQLite to store your data rather than strings.xml, which i dont think cant be edited – lyncx Jun 15 '21 at 01:04
