How to access a string array?(Android)

I'm a beginner Android Developer. I would like to find out how I could access a string array out of string.xml and use it. I searched the internet inside out and found nothing. I found ways to put it into text-view right away, but that's not what I want to do. So, basically, I want to put the string array into another array. string.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<resources>
<string-array name="Solar System">
    <item>Sun</item>
    <item>Mercury</item>
    <item>Venus</item>
    <item>Earth</item>
    <item>Mars</item>
    <item>Jupiter</item>
    <item>Saturn</item>
    <item>Uranus</item>
    <item>Neptune</item>

So I want this xml string array into a java string array

Thank's for the POSITIVE HELP, I'm sorry, I thought that way that was shown by many of you didn't work. It was just another error in my program.

-Thanks

Seriously? The example where you got that from even shows how you to access it:

Resources res = getResources();
String[] planets = res.getStringArray(R.array.Planets);
