title: Android: Difference between a System Resource and an Application Resource?
body: <p>From Android documentation for the <code>Resources</code> class:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public static Resources getSystem ()
  </code></pre>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Added in API level 1 Return a global shared Resources object that
    provides access to only system resources (no application resources),
    and is not configured for the current screen (can not use dimension
    units, does not change based on orientation, etc).</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>What are <strong>system resources</strong> and <strong>application resources</strong> and what is the difference between them?</p>
