I noticed that the Activity class has two different methods to get a String resource. This is possible by using:

  • getString(int resId): Return a localized string from the application's package's default string table.

  • getResources().getString(int id): Returns the string value associated with a particular resource ID. It will be stripped of any styled text information.

I don't understand what's the difference between both methods. Can somebody tell me?
