[android-developers] Re: Looking for documentation on showing a value from a string-array in a TextView

Just one comment -- not really specific to Android, but Java in
general:

You should be using the "most" base class that you can get away with,
so in the case of Android, 99% of the time you can use CharSequence
instead of String, so your code would be:

CharSequence[] textValues =
getResources().getTextArray(R.array.your_string_array);
for (int i = 0; i < textValues.length; ++i) {
mTextView.setText(textValues[i]);
