Creating hashmap/map from XML resources

by

Today I came across the same problem and studying developer.android.com for a long time didn’t help since Android resources cannot be hashes (maps), only arrays.

So I found 2 ways:

  1. Have a string array of values like “BEL|Belgium”, parse those string early in the program and store in a Map<>

  2. Have 2 string arrays: first with the values of “BEL”, “FRA”, “SWE” and second with “Belgium”, “France”, “Sweden”.

Second is more sensitive cause you have to synchronize changes and order in both arrays simultaneously.
