How to change string resource xml values in Android programatically?

Question

Hi All,

Is there any possibility to Edit String.xml values in Android? Please suggest me the possible ways.

I want to provide Enable/Disable option for my App. To accomplish this I can use SQLite database. But I doesn't like to Use DB for a single variable value.

Thanks in Advance.

You aren't going to be able to edit String.xml directly. However there is a middle ground, look into using SharedPreferences. Those are great when you just have a couple values to store and don't feel like dealing with a full database.
