Get String Value Dynamically

Question

I am passing a value from one activity to another through putExtra() and getExtra() and getting value like:

Passing from Activity 1:

intent = new Intent(this, blankScrollActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("alphabets", "a");

Recieving at Activity 2: blankScrollActivity.class

Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
String varName = extras.getString("alphabets");

TextView textView = (TextView) findViewByid(R.id.blankTextView);

String Resource MyString.xml:

<string name="a">My Example 1</string>
<string name="b">My Example 2</string>

I want to get the value of string dynamically to assign textView.

Answer 1

Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
String varName = extras.getString("alphabets");

int resId = getResources().getIdentifier(varName , "string", getPackageName());
String data = getResources().getString(resId);

This way, you will get the String resource that you want based on the String value sent from the first Activity.
