how to get integer value from strings.xml in android

How do I call the real value integer from res/values/stings.xml like below 

<integer name="GUI_OK">0x9001</integer>
<integer name="GUI_Error">0x9002</integer>

R.Integer.GUI_OK is an int(2131230720) not the real value

First, don't put them in strings.xml. Put them in integers.xml.

Second, you should use context.getResources().getInteger(R.integer.GUI_OK), where context is an instance of a Context object, such as an Activity or Service.

R.integer.GUI_OK is simply a resource value which Android uses to retrieve the actual value of that resource.
