[android-developers] Re: Listing all top level elements in strings.xml

Hi Kris,

Thanks for your response!
I was able to use this for discovering members contained in the
R.string class.

For others who may encounter this problem:

Field[] fields = getClassLoader().loadClass(getPackageName() + "/R
$string").getDeclaredFields();
for(Field field : fields) {
Log.v("TAG", "Field :" + field.getName() + " = " +
getResources().getString(field.getInt(null)));
}
