can we parse array element and a value from a android xml array

Question

Can we parse a array element and a value from a android array use in xml layouts.

<string-array name="country_arrays">

    <item>ABC</item>
    <item>DEF</item>
    <item>FHI</item>
    <item>JKL</item>

</string-array>

in this array we can parse only String values but I want to parse a id too attached to each strings. In HTML we can parse a value attribute with a HTML element. I don't know whether this can be done with Android but if it is possible it will reduce lot of work, please help me to correct this.

No it is impossible, but you can use id when you load array into you java code.
