Android and XML Maps

Question

Can you create an XML object resource with key-value pairs (basically a hash file) using an XML file similar to arrays.xml? It would be an analogue of NSDictionary from Obj-C.

i.e.

<key>foo</key>
<value>bar</value>

I would like the value to be an array of strings, and I would like to be able to copy and paste the XML files into my Obj-C projects.

Thank.

A good alternative is to create JSON objects and access them using GSON . If you already have a PList resource from an iPhone project, one way to convert to JSON is to create an object from PList and write it to a JSON string file.
