how can i reference something in the /values/strings.xml file programatically?
android, string, xml
Solution
You can use `setText(R.string.GrandTotal);`
If you don't have the possibility to set the text via `resId` directly you can use `getString(R.string.GrandTotal);`
Problem
i had some items in my strings.xml file that i want to change programatically, and originally i was doing it through a `setText();`call but now i am attempting to translate my app to a different language which means everything needs to be set in my strings.xml file. is it possible to put all the text for my app into a strings.xml and change things programatically through references to the string names, instead of using the setText() function call? for example how would i reference "GrandTotal"? ``` <string name="GrandTotal">Grand Total:</string> <string name="choose_prompt">Choose a Mode</string> ```
