How to get String Resource within ViewPager Adapter?

Question

I trying to set the title for my viewpager, I can\'t seem to get it to work. I tried Resources.getSystem().getString(R.string.title1); and also tried to pass a context. Coul

Answer 1

you should call getString from an activity's context, change your code to

public class ViewPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
    final int PAGE_COUNT = 3;
    Context context;

    public ViewPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm, Context nContext) {
        super(fm);
        context = nContext;
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return PAGE_COUNT;
    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {
        return PageFragment.create(position + 1);
    }

    @Override
    public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {

        switch (position) {

        case 0:
            return context.getString(R.string.title1);

        case 1:
            return context.getString(R.string.title1);

        case 2:
            return context.getString(R.string.title1);
        }

        return null;
    }
}

If it is not allowed to call getResources() in your viewPager Adapter, you need to declare it as a static variable in the parent activity

Answer 3

If you are trying to access string resources from outside of an activity, then you need to pass the context in to that class (which you stated you have already done), and then call

String str = context.getResources().getString(R.string.some_string);

Also check your strings.xml file to make sure that you are using the string id correctly. If you're using android studio you should be able to simply start typing R.string. and it will then show suggestions from the strings.xml file. If you do not see your resource here, then that may indicate a problem with the way you are storing your resources, as opposed to how you are trying to access them.
