In my android app, I have a number of buttons in a grid (basically a 2-D array of components). When long pressing these components I need to display a string to the user, with each array location having different strings.

For an actual app where I am using this, please see :

RIFT Assistant : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gopalshalu.rift.assistant

In the app, start up a soul tree .

Question

Is there a way to dynamically formulate the name of string, and get the strings value. Something like…

Int row = 0;
String target_string_name = “”;
for (int col=0;i<1;i++)
{
    target_string_name  = “teststring_” + row + “_” + col; // we have dynamically created the name
    How do we get the actual string value here, using string name in target_string_name variable?
}

How do we get the actual string value here, using string name in target_string_name variable?

Example

String to be displayed when pressing grid location (0,0) - Hello, test string at 0,0

String to be displayed when pressing grid location (0,1) - World!.. test string at 0,1

I have a string.xml file, with the following naming convension:

<string name=’teststring_row_column’>string contents</string>

So, for the above example, the string.xml will look like:

<string name=”teststring_0_0”>Hello, test string at 0,0</string>
<string name=”teststring_0_1”>World!... test string at 0,1</string>

Thanks in advance for your time 开发者_开发百科and responses.

If I understand you correctly, I believe you're looking for getIdentifier().

Here's a demonstration of its use.

I think you might consider making use of setTag() also if you want to associate a particular piece of data with a view. I also started a Rift Calculator (never finished) and for display the spell tooltips (I assume that's what you're doing?) I just associated the tooltip data with the tag for that view.
