title: Cannot convert from int to String from R.java
body: <p>I have a Dashboard.java file where I use strings.xml parsed in R.java auto generated file.</p>
  
  <p>When I try to do: </p>
  
  <pre><code>    public String BASE_URL = R.string.BASE_URL;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Naturally will tell Cannot convert from int to String.</p>
  
  <p>But that's what will be chosen from string.xml for the translation.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way around this? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
