The ids in the xml resource files are actually integer values not strings.

show = new AlertDialog.Builder(mContext).setTitle("moria")
                    .setMessage(R.string.erroroik)
                            .setPositiveButton("OK", null).show();

You can access it through context, depending where exactly this DialogBuilder is, it can be 

context.getString(R.string.erroroik);

or

this.getString(R.string.erroroik);

Take a look at String Resources for more information.

Use R.string.yourText without "" since R.string.yourText is referring to an int declared as static in your R.java.
