getString() from within java code

I'm trying to acces my strings.xml from within the java code, but for some reason I can only acces some default android strings. This is what I do:

private static Context context;
context = getApplicationContext();

context.getString(R.string.somthing);

The R.string contains some strings but not what I have in strings.xml.

I think you imported android.R so just remove it and import your R.class like as 

import your.package.name.R;

here your.package.name is your package name which you write in your Manifest.xml file.

Use this code instead 

Resources resources = context.getResources();
resources.getString(R.string.something)

Did you import android.R or your generated R file ?
