Using setImageDrawable dynamically to set image in an ImageView

Question

I am generating a string from database dynamically which has the same name of image in drawable folder.

Now I want to set that value for ImageView

Answer 1

Try this,

int id = getResources().getIdentifier("yourpackagename:drawable/" + StringGenerated, null, null);

This will return the id of the drawable you want to access... then you can set the image in the imageview by doing the following

imageview.setImageResource(id);
