Adding a bitmap to the drawable resources

Question

How can I add a Bitmap taken from the web (in the app i mean!) to the drawable resources? So i can access the Bitmap using R.drawable.bitmapN

Answer 1

The resources are compiled at the apk building time, so you cannot change it in runtime. If you want to have some identifier you can consider creating a shared preference where you can put in relation the downloaded image file with some id. But it will take some effort from you to implement the functionality.
