get one of 2 dimensional array android

I'm new in Android. I have story.xml in string folder which contains: 

<string-array name="story">
    <item>
        <name>st2</name>
        <id>1</id>
    </item>
    <item>
        <name>st1</name>
        <id>2</id>
    </item>
</string-array>

I use this code to get this array and show in ListView : 

String[]  sto_li = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.story);
ArrayAdapter<String> storylist;
        storylist = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, sto_li);

list.setAdapter(storylist);

In list view show like this:

st21
.............
st12

But I only want to show:

st2
.........
st1

What is the best way to get the second output on ListView?

Get the identifier for the name like so: int resId = getResources().getIdentifier("story", "name", getPackageName());

Then do: String[] sto_li = getResources().getStringarray(resId);

Give that a try.
