you can't create strings.xml dynamically.

but can following: create stringmanager.java hashmap strings. store user defined values in map key / value pairs. key original string strings.xml

public string getstring(int key) { *check if string in map *if not in map: return key's value, (eg.: getresources().getstring(resid)), user happy *if key present return user defined value }

//call settings section setstring(int key, string value) { // key string defined in strings.xml, value user defined value. }

you have implement kind of save/load methods make changes permanent.

whenever there text field user can change have set text this:

sometextfield.settext(stringmanagerobject.getstring(resid));
