Answer 1

I don't know if this is what you had in mind at all, but you could set up a HashMap of image id's (which are ints) and Strings of correct answers.

    HashMap images = new HashMap();
    images.put( "poland", Integer.valueOf( R.drawable.poland ) );
    images.put( "germany", Integer.valueOf( R.drawable.germany ) );

    String correctAnswer = "poland";
    imageView1.setImageResource( images.get( correctAnswer ).intValue() );
