How to access the values from strings.xml dynamically?

Question

What I want to do is to get a specific text from strings.xml dynamically. I think it will involve to access an object variable dynamically. There will be a function like:

public void getDynamicString(int level) {
  text.setText(R.string.levelText_+level);
}

And in strings.xml there will be <string name="levelText_5">Text level 5</string>

I would rather not create a list with all the text resources. Can one do this in Java/Android.

Use the method getIdentifier(name, defType, defPackage) of the Resources class to get the id of a resource by name. Then you can do a normal getString(id) from the same class.

EDIT: a bit of Googling revealed this: this. You can find sample usage there.
