R.id.* values will be generated from layout files using android:id="+@id\myid"

You can reference your strings via the R.string. prefix.

that's because these are in your strings.xml. They aren't id resources. Try accessing with something like

String someString = getResources().getString(R.string.app_name);

This is assuming you are already in the Activity Context. If not, you will need to have a Context before getResources()
