Try to keep all your strings in the strings.xml (rather than hard-coding them everywhere)

<Button android:id="@+id/button1" android:text="@string/button1_label">

In the strings.xml:

<string name="button1_label">blah blah</string>

Then you can easily get the text using:

Context.getString(R.string.button1_label)

You can find out more here.
