How to access R.string.xxx resources from a method by passing string 'xxx' as parameter to that method?

I have many string elements in my res/values/strings.xml

So, I want one method getString(String abc) for retrieving the strings from strings.xml:

public String getString(String abc){ // abc = address1

    String result;

    result = context.getResources().getString(R.strings.+abc);
}

How to access the string elements in this method based on a String in argument?

try This:

Resources res = this.getResources(); 
 int resID = res.getIdentifier(imagename, "drawable", this.getPackageName());

public String getString(String abc){ // Ex. abc = "address1"

   int resID = getResources().getIdentifier(abc, "string",  getPackageName()); 

   return context.getResources().getString(resID);
}
