Strings.XML file in android studio

Question

Are you able to change the strings set in the Strings.XML file once the code has been executed? Or should I just be using the setText() method to change it in the java code?

Answer 1

What are you meaning to do? In the java code you can use setText to set it to a new String resource in the Strings.xml file or in the java code you can setText to something that's not specifically in the Strings.xml file (just a standard string instead). I don't think the java code can change the actual strings in Strings.xml otherwise.
