You can chain them all together and get rid of the resources variable like this:

String[] array = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.facts_array);

Don't know if this is going to change anything but It will help your code to look a little cleaner :)

There isnt any problem about imports. Everything is same at two tools but Android Studio doesnt let use getResources() method
