Brief Description of my Application so far:
The user will say a word the word will be saved into an ArrayList result, then it will compare to the words in the string array which is stored in the wordBank.xml file. If the word matches a word in the wordbank then it will display the word "match" in a textview and if not then it will display "no match".
Problem: The issue is comparing the two arraylist, within my onActivityResult function. It is a runtime error, this screen crashes when i try to start it, but when i change the code so it does not compare it will run without an error.

Any ideas? Thank you in advance! Side note: Originally i left the error message out because it was the if else statement within the OnActivityResult function that caused the crash/error.
Your problem is here
wordBank = new ArrayList<>(R.array.Words);
R.array.Words is an integer constant of the resource itself, not the content of your array.
The correct way to parse an XML array in your code is as follows:
String[] wordBank = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.Words);
If you want to convert String[] to ArrayList<String> see these examples and a connected question.
