solo.getString(R.id.xyz).
2. print the value of XYZ using Log.d("Robotium", "text: " + XYZ );

on the device's screen.

I think your issue is that you are using getString() at the wrong time. You 
need to call it when the right activity is active. What getString does is to 
ask the current activity for a resource id string. That is all.
