Getting specific item from String array

I have a string array say

<string-array name="temp">
    <item>
        Some Data1
    </item>
    <item>
        Some Data2
    </item>
    <item>
        Some Data3
    </item>
</string-array>

Suppose I want to get Some Data2 from this array, I know I can do 

String temp[]=getResource().getStringArray(R.array.temp);

But instead of getting whole string array, I want only a specific item because data of whole string is too large, and I know its position. Please help.

This is not possible.But If you want to do that just create string array in java class like 

String arr[] = {"item1","item2","item3"}.

And access those value using arr[1];

Assuming the entry you want is at position 2 (just an example), then do:

String myEntry = getResource().getStringArray(R.array.temp)[2];
