Using a variable in strings.xml in Eclipse/Android

<item
    android:id="@+id/menu_selectDate"
    android:orderInCategory="100"
    android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
    android:title="@string/date"/>

I need this title to be variable to the selected date

Leave the string name field empty in your layout. then in your activity write the following:

menu_selectDate.setText(YourDate);

Try this,

If it array of String then use,

String[] some_array = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.your_string_array);

Or else

String date= getApplicationContext().getResources().getString(R.string.date);
