I have an android application that use a gallery component to choose an icon and assign it to a button. The icon set is located in res/drawable folder and is accessed in the gallery with the typical adapter of the guide: private Integer[] Imgid = { R.drawable.icon_home, R.drawable.icon_home2, ... } After an icon choosing, i stored the settings in a db with id of the button and of the drawable. All works done, but i've noticed that if i'll want to add or modify my icon set or resources in general of my application, ids of old resource could change, so the preferences in the db refers to wrong

I want to use different images for different localisations. However, I have images for all resolutions and for all languages. Is there any way to do this? yes, it is possible by. drawable-de-rDE-ldpi,drawable-de-rDE-mdpi . check it. Is possible use drawable-mdpi-fr, drawable-hdpi-fr, drawable-ldpi-fr, for localization with different resolutions Yes. Obviously, this gets tedious for too many translations, and if there are too many affected images your APK size may grow substantially. Since Android will automatically rescale images, you might try just res/drawable-fr-xhdpi/ and see what it looks

I'm having problem with setting size of drawable in layer-list. My XML looks like this: <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item android:drawable="@drawable/menu_drawable1"/> <item android:drawable="@drawable/menu_drawable2"/> </layer-list> Drawable1 is bigger than Drawable2, so Drawable2 gets resized. How to override this and set the original size of Drawable2? I don't want it to resize. I tried with setting width and height but that doesn't work. Also the drawables aren't actually bitmaps, they are selectos, so I can't use the bitmap trick. It looks like

Below is My code to create a shortcut to a selected application. I have really no problem and the application work quite well. The problem is that I am able to create a shortcut with a ressource from my application: intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON_RESOURCE, Intent.ShortcutIconResource.fromContext(this, R.drawable.icon)); But I really would like with a custom drawable. ( Drawable myDrawable=.....) How can I do? ResolveInfo launchable=adapter.getItem(position); final Intent shortcutIntent = new Intent(); ActivityInfo activity=launchable.activityInfo; ComponentName name=new

I need help with NinePatchDrawable: My app can download themes from the network. Almost all things work fine, except 9-Patch PNGs. final Bitmap bubble = getFromTheme("bubble"); if (bubble == null) return null; final byte[] chunk = bubble.getNinePatchChunk(); if (!NinePatch.isNinePatchChunk(chunk)) return null; NinePatchDrawable d = new NinePatchDrawable(getResources(), bubble, chunk, new Rect(), null); v.setBackgroundDrawable(d); d = null; System.gc(); getFromTheme() loads the Bitmap from the SD card. The 9-Patch PNGs are already compiled, that means they include the required chunk. The way

I am busy creating a less complicated version of NinePatchDrawable that tiles the inner panels instead of stretching them. I can implement the actual logic to do the rendering and such. However, I can't find documentation about how to use this Drawable in the XML files. Is this possible? That is, can I have a <tileable-nine-patch> , or some such, tag I can use to define resources? Unfortunately it is not possible to use custom drawables in XML files (for API 23 and below) due to potential security issues. See here for a Google Groups thread about this very topic with a response from Romain Guy

I have a scenario where i need to have a large number of progress bar drawables. I cant create xml resources for all of them because i want the user to choose a color that will then be used to dynamically create the drawable. Below is one such drawable in xml, how can i create this exact drawable programmatically? <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item android:id="@android:id/background"> <shape> <solid android:color="@color/transparent" /> <stroke android:width="2px" android:color="@color/category_blue_stroke"/> </shape> </item> <item android:id="
