The method for extracting strings from strings.xml using Androguard is as follows:

1. Import the necessary modules:

from androguard import misc
from androguard.axml.axmlparser import AXMLParser

1. Load the APK file:

a, d, dx = misc.AnalyzeAPK('path_to_apk')

1. Get the strings.xml file:

xml_string = a.get_android_resources()['xml']['strings.xml'].decode('utf-8')

1. Create an AXMLParser object and parse the XML string:

parser = AXMLParser(xml_string)
parser.parse()

1. Get the list of string resources:

strings = parser.get_string_resources()

1. Print the list of string resources:

for string in strings:
    print(string)

This will output a list of all the strings extracted from the strings.xml file.
