Just like arrays can hold other data types like char, int, float, arrays can also hold strings.
You can't initialize your testArray
field this way, because the application resources still aren't ready.
Just change the code to:
package com.xtensivearts.episode.seven;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
public class Episode7 extends ListActivity {
String[] mTestArray;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Create an ArrayAdapter that will contain all list items
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter;
mTestArray = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.testArray);
/* Assign the name array to that adapter and
also choose a simple layout for the list items */
adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(
this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,
mTestArray);
// Assign the adapter to this ListActivity
setListAdapter(adapter);
}
}
Your array.xml is not right. change it to like this
Here is array.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string-array name="testArray">
<item>first</item>
<item>second</item>
<item>third</item>
<item>fourth</item>
<item>fifth</item>
</string-array>
</resources>
Your XML is not entirely clear, but arrays XML can cause force closes if you make them numbers, and/or put white space in their definition.
Make sure they are defined like No Leading or Trailing Whitespace
