You can't use integer for name because later it will be converted into a variable name in R.java and a variable name in java can start only with $ (dollar sign), _ (underscore) or with any alphabet.

So instead of using <string-array name="1"> you can use <string-array name="_1"> or <string-array name="$1"> or <string-array name="a1">

The name must be a valid java identifier, because it is used in the generation of the R.java file.

See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-3.html#jls-3.8

Typically, it cannot be (or start with) a number, and it cannot be true, false, null
