I have a string array defined in arrays.xml that references two lines in strings.xml:
<string-array name="my_options">
<item>@string/my_string_one</item>
<item>@string/my_string_two</item>
</string-array>
<string name="my_string_one">Value 1</string>
<string name="my_string_two">Value 2</string>
I need to get the position of an element in an array based on the value of a string. The line Ie “Value 2” has an index of 1. I can obviously just hardcode the positional values (0, 1, etc.), but it will break if the order of the lines is changed. I want the code to be positionally independent. The following works:
int value = Arrays.asList((getResources().getStringArray(R.array.my_options))).indexOf(getString(R.string.my_string_one));
Is there a more compact and easy way to do this?
