setText(getString(R.strings.whatever) or setText(R.strings.whatever)?

Question

Both work, obviously if you start concatenating you\'ll need get string in order to avoid displaying an int.

Question: which is the most \'elegant\' or \'recommende

Answer 1

Well, since the API provides a method to pass Resource String ID, It seems to be logical to prefer using this. You could actually check the working of setText(resourceid) to see beneath the hood, but setText(R.strings.whatever) is definitely recommended.
