Android string-array from xml file to ListView

Change to

String [] fiilliste;ArrayAdapter<String> adapter;@Overrideprotected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);    setContentView(R.layout.verbs);    fiilliste = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.fi);     // move this in onCreate

I assume you have the string array fi in strings.xml.

You probably got NullPointerException. You require activity context for getResources(). So move it inside onCreate.

here is what I did. i have created a string-array in array.xml

 <resources><string-array name="numbers">    <item>1</item>    <item>2</item>    <item>3</item>    <item>4</item>    <item>5</item>    <item>6</item>    <item>7</item>    <item>8</item>    <item>9</item>    <item>10</item></string-array>

and put a lisView in my xml layout

 <ListView    android:layout_width="wrap_content"    android:layout_height="wrap_content"    android:id="@+id/listView"    android:entries="@array/numbers"    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"    android:layout_alignParentStart="true" />

here is my MainActivity look like.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements AdapterView.OnItemClickListener {ListView listView;String[] number;@Overrideprotected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);    Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);    number = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.numbers);    listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView);    ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, number);    listView.setAdapter(adapter);    listView.setOnItemClickListener(this);}@Overridepublic void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {    TextView textView = (TextView) view;    Toast.makeText(this, textView.getText() , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();}

}

remove android:entries from your .xml file & define the string array into

String[] number = getResources().getStringArray(R.id.numbers);ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, number);
