Convert String containing an ID into an Integer-ID

Question

I have a short question:

How is it possible to convert a String, containing the Id of a Drawable, which is

String idString = \"R.drawable.bubblegum\"         


        

Answer 1

if your idString is constant, i.e. it's doesn't change during runtime, follow DeeV's answer. If it changes, you can take a look at getIdentifier method.
