Does resource id changes everytime an application starts

Question

I am storing my images in drawable and their resource id in SQLite database.My database is created when the application starts for the first time.

Is it good to save

Answer 1

One approach would be storing the drawables in strings.xml as a string array something like this:

 
    @drawable/ic_image_name
    @drawable/ic_image_name
    @drawable/ic_image_name
    @drawable/ic_image_name
    @drawable/ic_image_name
    @drawable/ic_image_name
    @drawable/ic_image_name

Then reading this array in your activity code :

TypedArray locationFlags=getResources().obtainTypedArray(R.array.location_flags);

Then applying the for loop you can get the Drawable something like this:

for(int i=0i

Be sure to recycle the TypedArray after using it, since its a shared resource :

 locationFlags.recycle();
