It's a late answer but may useful someone looking out for a way to get the resource id (int) for any view / drawable / String programmatic.

image from res/drawable

int resID = getResources().getIdentifier("my_image", 
            "drawable", getPackageName());

view based on resource name

int resID = getResources().getIdentifier("my_resource", 
            "id", getPackageName());

string

int resID = getResources().getIdentifier("my_string", 
            "string", getPackageName());
