React Native access strings.xml from inside javascript code

Question

Is there a way to access the current values from android/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml from inside Javascript code? I want to place different endpoint URLs for each build, but I'm failing even to detect the type of build inside react-native code without having to resort to the __DEV__ variable (which can be turned off from the dev menu)

The only way this might be possible would be building a bridge using native modules, https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/native-modules-android.html. Essential you can pass strings in JS to the native modules and have native function handle which string to grab and pass back to JS.
