how do I save a stringarray assigned in string.xml?

Question

This is the Stringarray from my xml file declared:

Resources res = getResources();

    final String[] list = res.getStringArray(R.array.myArray);

The onSaveInstanceState Code looks like this:

 @Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
    super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);


    outState.putStringArrayList("list",  R.array.myArray); 

}
/* Gives me this error :Wrong 2nd argument type. Found: 'int', required: 
 'java.util.ArrayList<java.lang.String>'. . . */

What is missing , what is wrong , I dont understand, I tried many different conjunctions of how to call myArray, didnt work, if you need additional information let me know.

Android Studio is trying to help me but I dont know how to write this ?

Answer 1

you can convert your array into list and then can pass it as the second argument like this:

    List<String> arrayList = Arrays.asList(list);
    outState.putStringArrayList("list", (ArrayList<String>) arrayList);
