Android - retrieve string array from resources

Question

Below is the code that i made to retrieve the string array item:

String[] menuArray;  @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)  {            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);     setContentView(R.layout.main);      ScrollView sv = new ScrollView(this);     LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(this);     ll.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);     sv.addView(ll);   // Create an ArrayAdapter that will contain all list items     ArrayAdapter<String> adapter;      menuArray = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.menu);        for(int i = 0; i < menuArray.length; i++)      {         Button b = new Button(this);         b.setText(menuArray[i]);         ll.addView(b);     }      this.setContentView(sv);  } 

This is the strings.xml file:

 <string-array name="menu">         <item>1</item>         <item>2</item>         <item>3</item>         </string-array> 

However, the R.array.menu having this issue to compile: As of ADT 14, resource fields cannot be used as switch cases. Invoke this fix to get more information.
