Answer 1

THIS WILL DO THE JOB...

If you just have 1 setTag in your class, you could use any int, maybe static final declared in the top.

The problem comes when you had 2 or more setTag's with different keys. I mean:

public static final int KEY_1 = 1;
public static final int KEY_2 = 2;
...
setTag(KEY_1)
setTag(KEY_2)
...

That scenario is wrong. You then need to add a value file called maybe ids.xml with the following:

Then, in your class, call:

 ...
 setTag(R.id.resourceDrawable, KEY_1)
 setTag(R.id.imageURI, KEY_2)
 ...
