How do I check to see if a resource exists in Android

Question

Is there a built in way to check to see if a resource exists or am I left doing something like the following:

boolean result;
int test = mContext.getResource         


        

Answer 1

In case someone is wondering, the "my_resource_name" in

int checkExistence = mContext.getResources().getIdentifier("my_resource_name", "drawable", mContext.getPackageName());

is actually

String resourceName = String.valueOf(R.drawable.my_resource_name);
int checkExistence = mContext.getResources().getIdentifier(resourceName , "drawable", mContext.getPackageName());
