What is better to use, hardcoded array or resources string array?

Question

What is better to use in my android program:

in mainActivity.java:

String[] st = {"Value1","Value2"}; 

or

in mainActivity.java:

String[] st = (String[]) getResources().getStringArray(R.array.Array1); 

And in strings.xml:

<string-array name="Array1">
    <item >Value1</item>
    <item >Value2</item>
</string-array>

Answer 1

Well I will use the second approch, if you need to localize (translate it in more languages) your strings.
