It is impossible to save or change values in strings.xml since it is a compiled resource. you can choose other ways to save datas, take a look at this:

strings.xml:

<resources>
    <string name="ip">INSERT TEXT FOR IP HERE</string>
    <string name="port">INSERT TEXT FOR PORT HERE</string>
</resources>

onCreate() within an Activity:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    Log.d("LOG_TAG", getString(R.string.ip));
    Log.d("LOG_TAG", getString(R.string.port));
}

Let me know if this answers your question.
