Correct reading from strings.xml

Question

For getting strings from strings.xml I am using this code:

tlacitko3.setText(getResources().getString(R.string.tlacitko3));

But I realize that also work this one:

tlacitko3.setText(getString(R.string.tlacitko3));

So where is difference? Or is there something bad on shorter version? Thanks

They both does the same. If you have many. You can use below method for better coding purpose.

public final String getString(int resId) {
     return getResources().getString(resId);
 }

There is no difference, Use as per your convenience

They are two different methods that does the same job.

I use always :

tlacitko3.setText(getResources().getString(R.string.tlacitko3));

Because its easy to remember other other similar things like setting a imageview with a drawable

imageView.setBackground(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_launcher));
