To create Toast object you need to have context and string. Context can be

Context context = MainActivity.this;

or

Context context = getActivity();

Then you create your Toast like this:

Toast.makeText(context, getString(R.strings.your_string_id), Toast.LENGHT_SHORT).show();

To learn more about Toasts read the documentation. And about resources, check out this link

 String arr[] = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.stringname);
    for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
            Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),arr[i], Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();  
    }

use this code you will get the output

Try using the Context.getString() method:

String name = getString(R.string.stringname);

The Activity.findViewById() would not work, because string resources are not views.
