How should I create ArrayList from resource string-array?

Answer 1

Simple do like this-

otherSeriesList = ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(*resources.getStringArray(R.array.get_other_series)))

* will pass the Array as vararg

Answer 2

Just use ArrayList(resources.getStringArray( ... ).toMutableList()) instead.

If you don't need to use ArrayList exactly in your code, then you can change type of property to MutableList<String> and call resources.getStringArray( ... ).toMutableList()

Or you can use spread operator on your array and create ArrayList via call arrayListOf(*context.resources.getStringArray())
