Which is better when storing some large texts: strings in XML resource file or a java Strings in a class

I have to store some long text, to use in textViews. i've always been using strings in a xml file, but i don't know if a java String for each text could be better, so...

Which is the best way to store them:

1. 
   

   Create strings in a XML resource file

   
   


2. 
   

   Create a class and store the text in java strings

   
   

Thanks!
