Android get image path from drawable as string

Question

Is there any way that I can get the image path from drawable folder in android as String. I need this because I implement my own viewflow where I\'m showing the images by us

Answer 1

based on the some of above replies i improvised it a bit

create this method and call it by passing your resource

Reusable Method

public String getURLForResource (int resourceId) {
    //use BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID instead of R.class.getPackage().getName() if both are not same
    return Uri.parse("android.resource://"+R.class.getPackage().getName()+"/" +resourceId).toString();
}

Sample call

getURLForResource(R.drawable.personIcon)

complete example of loading image

String imageUrl = getURLForResource(R.drawable.personIcon);
// Load image
 Glide.with(patientProfileImageView.getContext())
          .load(imageUrl)
          .into(patientProfileImageView);

you can move the function getURLForResource to a Util file and make it static so it can be reused
