Avoid Resources.NotFoundException in Android

Basically I need to create extract string resources and sometimes for locale there is no string resource available. Is there any way to get string or null if it is not found? I do not want to do try-catch every time it is missing

try {
    valuesForLocale.put(key, res.getString(key.id));
} catch (Resources.NotFoundException e) {
                //Ignore
}

Is there anything like getStringOrNull()?

You can use getIdentifier method. The code without try-catch will look similar to:

int stringId = context.getResources().getIdentifier("my_resource_name", "string", mContext.getPackageName());

String text = (stringId != 0) ? context.getString(stringId) : "";
