Call the  **getString**  API to obtain the resource information of the application.

```
import resmgr from '@ohos.resmgr'
.....
    resmgr.getResourceManager((error,mgr) => {
        // callback
        mgr.getString(0x1000000, (error, value) => {
            if (error != null) {
                console.log(error);
            } else {
                console.log(value);
            }
        });

        // promise
        mgr.getString(0x1000000).then(value => {
            console.log(value);
        }).catch(error => {
            console.log("getstring promise " + error);
        });
