Accessing strings.xml values in android library project

I have MyAppProject as android application project and MyLibProject as android library project. I have strings.xml(2 strings) and one xyz.java class in MyLibProject. xyz.java class has 2 get methods to access the strings.xml values.

I have added reference library project "MyLibProject" in "MyAppProject" application project.

For some usecase, I will check whether Library project xyz.java class is in classpath then get the values from xyz.class.

How to access the strings.xml texts in xyz.java class get method?

This question has been very old, but creating Android libraries will never get old. I have been working on creating Android libraries for a few days now, and myself encountered this issue of not been able to use res directory resources in library's java files due to some reason. After 2 days of searching, I found that I was missing package declaration in my library's manifest file.

So, to make it working, check if you have declared package in manifest.

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.yourpackage">

</manifest>

It worked for me after this change, now I can use resources in library's java files. I hope it works for you too.

As far as I'm aware, you should be able to access any references via a fully qualified name for the R file you're attempting to access, via the Context. Something like (untested):

Context.getString(com.YOUR.LIB.R.string.YOURSTRING));

Failing that, you could possibly import the com.YOUR.LIB.R file directly into your activity.

Hope this helps! And I hope that I understand what you're trying to achieve. If not, please provide more information and possibly some code you've already tried, may help explain your problem :)
