Android's strings.xml giving a nullpointer on retrieval.
<p>Perhaps one of you great gods/goddesses of Android may see it fit to help a mere peasent as myself. </p>

<p>If I use </p>

<pre><code>String myNewAppId = "34";
</code></pre>

<p>I am good.
If I use </p>

<pre><code>String myNewAppId = this.getString(R.string.appid);
</code></pre>

<p>or</p>

<pre><code>String myNewAppId = getResources.getString(R.string.appid);
</code></pre>

<p>setting my strings.xml file to </p>

<pre><code>&lt;string name="appid"&gt;34&lt;/string&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I show no errors yet I crash with a nullpointerException. </p>
