What is the best way to externalize URL's?

Easiest way to externalize strings in an android application is to use string resources. Create file uris. Xml at res/values folder:?

Xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"? > ... ...Also keep in mind that you should wait until a Context will be initialized before starting access its resources. Hence invoke getString() not earlier then at onCreate() method of Activity or Application.

Easiest way to externalize strings in an android application is to use string resources. Create file uris. Xml at res/values folder: ...http://...You then can then access the strings by: String appUrl = getString(R.string.

AppUrl); String storeUrl = getString(R.string. StoreUrl); //..etc getString() is a method of Context class. Also keep in mind that you should wait until a Context will be initialized before starting access its resources.

Hence invoke getString() not earlier then at onCreate() method of Activity or Application.

Private String appUrl= getString(R.string. AppUrl); //returns null for some reason, even tho it has a value? – Sheehan Alam Nov 11 '10 at 17:28 Do you use ADT plugin with Eclipse or something else?

It looks like you need to cleanup workspace and rebuild project. – Konstantin Burov Nov 11 '10 at 17:51 See answer update. – Konstantin Burov Nov 11 '10 at 18:05.

You can put the values in a XML "configuration" file, then just read the values from the XML file. Example of reading an XML file. Or just use Android's native res folder XML resources files as pointed out by Konstantin Burov.

If you want ability to have external flat file to be editable you can simply create a text file on say SD (and have some defaults as static strings or properties). Then your code reads the file (standard Java IO) and pics the changes say in onCreate of your Activity You can also have such file in /assets folder; see this for example.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
