Difference between getString() and getResources.getString()

Question

I noticed that the Activity class has two different methods to get a String resource. This is possible by using:

• getString(int resId)

Answer 1

In Fragments you can use also getString() instead of getActivity().getString()

Answer 2

They are the same method, nothing special about them.

Answer 3

They are the same as Activity.getString(int) does exactly that:

 public final String getString(int resId) {
     return getResources().getString(resId);
 }
