Binding a list of strings

Is there a way to bind an array of strings to a list in the view?

I know how this is done if the array consists of objects. For example, if I had an array testData consisting of objects with property "text", I could do the following:

<List items="{testModel>/testData}">

  <StandardListItem title="text" />

</List>

But what if testData consisted of strings?
