[UiAutomator] Referencing the apps string.xml resource file

I'm using UiAutomator to test our android app, in intellij how do I link or reference the parent apps resources?

I do have access to their code, but from IntelliJ's point of view I only have my test code.
Test folder is only one child lower than the app, so I figured I could do relative paths in some ant uibuild xml (or something like that), but how would I make intellij be aware?
