Android: dynamic key-names R.string

android

Solution

You can do it accessing to runtime generated resources by name:

String direction = "nn";
String fullName = "wind_direction" + direction;

// Get the identifier of the resource by its name.
@StringRes int resId = getResources().getIdentifier(fullName, "string", getPackageName());
// Use the value of the resource.
String message = getString(resId);

Problem

i have a strings.xml file: ``` <string name="wind_direction_n">North</string> <string name="wind_direction_nne">North-Northeast</string> <string name="wind_direction_ne">Northeast</string> <string name="wind_direction_ene">East-Northeast</string> <string name="wind_direction_e">East</string> <string name="wind_direction_ese">East-Southeast</string> <string name="wind_direction_se">Southeast</string> <string name="wind_direction_sse">South-Souteast</string> <string name="wind_direction_s">South</string> <string name="wind_direction_ssw">South-Southwest</string> <string name="wind_direction_sw">Southwest</string> <string name="wind_direction_wsw">West-Southwest</string> <string name="wind_direction_w">West</string> <string name="wind_direction_wnw">West-Norhwest</string> <string name="wind_direction_nw">Northwest</string> <string name="wind_direction_nnw">North-Northwest</string> ``` And i need something like this: ``` String direction = "nn"; String message = R.string["wind_direction" + direction] ``` How can i do this?
