How can I share string-array between applications in Android?

Question

My main idea is to share resources between two applications. I'm using code below to get string item, but when I'm doing the same with string-array, it returns 0 always(it couldn't find resource):

String packageName = "com.example.mymainapp.mymodule.app.libs";
Resources res = getPackageManager().getResourcesForApplication(packageName);
int resourceId = res.getIdentifier(packageName + ":string/items", null, null);

I also tryed to do:

int resourceId = res.getIdentifier(packageName + ":array/items", null, null);

and

int resourceId = res.getIdentifier(packageName + ":string/items", "array", null);

and

int resourceId = res.getIdentifier("items", "array", null);

Appreciate any help.

Answer 1

This is the right variant, I was wrong some time before when got result from resId:

int resId = res.getIdentifier(packageName + ":array/items", null, null);
