5,705 PointsgetResources()
in this lecture,
<MainActivity.java> ... Resources resources = getResources(); String key = resources.getString(R.string.key_name);...
<StoryActivity.java> ... String name = intent.getStringExtra(getString(R.string.key_name));
...
in MainActivitiy, he called "getResources()" and passed into "resources". and then he used "getString()" via "resources"
but in StoryActivity, he didnot called "getResources()", but he using "getString()" directly.
why StoryActivity doesnot require calling "getResources()".
thank you
