Apps Getting string dynamically

[Slaine82]

Hi there, I am new to Android development and I am setting up my first application which is a simple 10 question quiz. I have the questions text set up in the strings.xml

<string name="question_1">Question 1 here</string>
<string name="question_2">Question 2 here</string>

and in my java file I have a int variable which holds the current question that the user is on:-

int currentQ = 1;

I then want to set the TextView to the relevant question text but use the currentQ variable to denote which text to set. So instead of:-

TextView t = new TextView(this);
t = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.questionView);
String string = getString(R.string.question_1);
t.setText(string);

I want to set it dynamically something like
"R.string.question_" + currentQ

is it possible to do anything like this concatenate the variable to retrieve the string?

Any advice or help greatly appreciated!

Use it: More Resource Types | Android Developers (read about typed array). For your task (array name is Questions):

Resources res = getResources();
TypedArray ques = res.obtainTypedArray(R.array.Questions);
...
t.setText(ques.getString(<insert index>));
