Setting Android images from string value

Question

Currently I\'m drawing a PNG image in my Android application like so:

ImageView image = new ImageView(context);
image.setImageDrawable(context.getResources(         


        

Answer 1

I'm using:

int resId = getResources().getIdentifier("testimage", "drawable", getPackageName());
image.setImageResource(resId);

"testimage" - corresponds to for instance testimage.jpg, i.e. dont include ".jpg"

"drawable" - is the resource type, like in: @drawable/testimage

Check Resources.getIdentifier(...)
