Android - Loop Through strings.xml file
- by Alexis Cartier
I was wondering if there is anyway to loop through the strings.xml file.
Let's say that I have the following format:
<!-- FIRST SECTION -->
<string name="change_password">Change Password</string>
<string name="change_server">Change URL</string>
<string name="default_password">password</string>
<string name="default_server">http://xxx:8080</string>
<string name="default_username">testPhoneAccount</string>
<!-- SECOND SECTION -->
<string name="debug_settings_category">Debug Settings</string>
<string name="reload_data_every_startup_pref">reload_data_every_startup</string>
<string name="reload_data_on_first_startup_pref">reload_data_on_first_startup</string>
Now let's say I have this:
private HashMap<String,Integer> hashmapStringValues = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
Is there a way to iterate only in the second section of my xml file? Maybe wrap the section with a tag like <section2> and then iterate through it?
public void initHashMap(){
for (int i=0;i< ???? ;i++) //Here I need to loop only in the second section of my xml file
{
String nameOfTag = ? // Here I get the name of the tag
int value = R.string.nameOfTag // Here I get the associated value of the tag
this.hashmapStringValues.put(nameOfTag,value);
}
}
