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

i like to do something like that:

public static boolean isResource(Context context, int resId){
        if (context != null){
            try {
                return context.getResources().getResourceName(resId) != null;
            } catch (Resources.NotFoundException ignore) {
            }
        }
        return false;
    }

so now it's not only for drawable
