NullPointerException trying to access a String resource

Question

I have the following /res/values/uris.xml

blahblah         


        

Answer 1

First of all to clear that up. You don't have to have all your strings in strings.xml. Period.

Emmanuels answer is partially right. You have to get the string inside your onCreate() method when the context is initialized. His answer is only partially correct since he also mentioned that you have to have the strings inside the strings.xml which is not true.
