How to use String arrays from string.xml in android layouts?

Issue

I created a string-array in my strings.xml file and I want access array in my layout to fill my chips. How can I do it?

This my strings.xml

<string-array name="shortcutCategoryNames">
    <item>Digital</item>
    <item>Clothes</item>
    <item>Sport</item>
    <item>Cosmetics</item>
</string-array>

This is my layout

        <com.google.android.material.chip.ChipGroup
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">
            <com.google.android.material.chip.Chip
                android:id="@+id/chp_digital"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         />
            <com.google.android.material.chip.Chip
                android:id="@+id/chp_clothes"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                />

         <!-- rest of Chips-->

        </com.google.android.material.chip.ChipGroup>

Solution

You can get String Array using below method.

ArrayList<String> tagList = new ArrayList();

String[] someArray = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.shortcutCategoryNames);
tagList.addAll(Arrays.asList(someArray));
