Android resources getting string names "dynamicaly"

Issue

I have 2 activities, one with buttons which have ID's. Depending on which button you click, an ID is passed to a second activity through it's intent. I then in that second activity want to retrieve string values based on the id of that button. I had named my string values as followed:

<resources>
    <string name="app_name">DataApp</string>
    <string name="info_title_zalm">Zalm</string>
    <string name="info_weight_zalm">1kg</string>
    <string name="info_origin_zalm">Atlantische Oceaan</string>
    <string name="info_title_haai">Haai</string>
    <string name="info_weight_haai">200kg</string>
    <string name="info_origin_haai">Atlantische Oceaan, zoet water uitzonderingen</string>
</resources>

So the string have a shared start of the name, for example info_title_zalm and info_title_haai. When clicking the haai button a "haai" string is passed to the second activity, where I was planning to do something such as "info_title_" + string to get the corresponding string. But because of needing to retrieve it as R.string.info_title_haai this doesn't work.

Is such a thing possible in Android?

Using Android Studio, building for Jellybean and above.

Solution

I use this:

int resId = getResources().getIdentifier("info_title_" + string, "string", getPackageName());
String s = getString(resId);
