Android: Referring to a string resource when defining a log name
- by spookypeanut
In my Android app, I want to use a single variable for the log name in multiple files. At the moment, I'm specifying it separately in each file, e.g.
public final String LOG_NAME = "LogName";
Log.d(LOG_NAME, "Logged output);
I've tried this:
public final String LOG_NAME = (String) getText(R.string.app_name_nospaces);
And while this works in generally most of my files, Eclipse complains about one of them:
The method getText(int) is undefined
for the type DatabaseManager
I've made sure I'm definitely importing android.content.Context in that file. If I tell it exactly where to find getText:
Multiple markers at this line
- Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method getText(int)
from the type Context
- The method getText(int) is undefined for the type DatabaseManager
I'm sure I've committed a glaringly obvious n00b error, but I just can't see it! Thanks for all help: if any other code snippets would help, let me know.
