Android: Change strings resource Programmatically

Question

Is there a way to do this? For instance, I have a setting in my preferences that can convert between metric and standard units of measurement and when the user changes this

Answer 1

You can update the label on TextView or anything similar.

• Get the updated string using update_str = Context.getResources().getString (R.string.update_identifier)
• Update the label using ((TextView)findViewById (R.id.textview)).setText (updated_str)
