* Demonstration of loading resources.

* Each context has a resources object that you can access. Additionally,
* the Context class (an Activity is a Context) has a getString convenience
* method getString() that looks up a string resource.
*
* @see StyledText for more depth about using styled text, both with getString()
* and in the layout xml files.

// CharSequence instead of String so we don't lose the style info.

// to lose the style information.

tv.setText(str);
// Using the Resources object
// You might need to do this if your code is not in an activity.
// For example View has a protected mContext field you can use.
// In this case it's just 'this' since Activity is a context.
Context context = this;
// Get the Resources object from our context
Resources res = context.getResources();
// Get the string resource, like above.
cs = res.getText(R.string.styled_text);
tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.res1);
tv.setText(cs);
// Note that the Resources class has methods like getColor(),
// getDimen(), getDrawable() because themes are stored in resources.
// You can use them, but you might want to take a look at the view
// examples to see how to make custom widgets.
