Answer 1

getResources().getStringArray(R.array.umc_profile_values);

worked 4 me!

Answer 2

Resources res = getResources();
String[] name = res.getStringArray(R.array.name_array);

Answer 3

I don't have an IDE in front of me right now, but I think you should be able to do something like R.res.arrays.YOUR_ARRAY_OF_STRINGS.
