Hello, anybody knows if it's possible to get string Resources by key?

Edit:
For example: I know the name of the key that I need and I need the string associated, something like: getString("my_string") instead getString(<http://Res.string.my|Res.string.my>_string)

@Raphael TEYSSANDIER Sorry, I didn't explain it correctly. I mean that I know the name of the key that I need and I need the string associated, something like: getString("my_string") instead getString(<http://Res.string.my|Res.string.my>_string)

[Raphael TEYSSANDIER]

Oh, then I don't have any idea, sorry

@Enol Simón Did you find a solution to this?

[Enol Simón]

@Duane Malcolm I had to create an object that acts as a map like that:

val stringsMap =
        mapOf(
            "app_name" to Res.string.app_name,
        )

[Enol Simón]

`

fun getStringByKey(name: String): String? =
            val res = MapResources.stringsMap[name]
.......

It is a manual work, but after opening an issue in github, it looks like they are not going to implement it

Maybe you can put a bit more of pressure there 🙂

Thanks. I was just making my Iconic object to get drawables using a key.

I also posted on the GitHub issue.
