R.string.value is a call to the static field in the class R, which is auto generated by Eclipse and which does a kind of summary of all your resources. To retrieve the string, you need to use : 

CharSequence contentTitle = getString(R.string.value);

If you open the R class you will see that it contains only numbers that are references to the compiled resources of your project.
