I have an issue with grabbing an image dynamicly. Simply put, how can I do something like this:
ImageView img = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.img_place);
img.setImageResource(R.drawable.image_string[1]);
So basicly, the image_string could hold anything,
image1 image2 image3
Must be possible, but can't figure out how.
You could do it like this,
public static Integer[] images = new Integer[]{R.drawable.my_love,R.drawable.first,R.drawable.second,R.drawable.third};
And then set the image resource like this,
ImageView mImageView = new ImageView(this.context);
mImageView.setImageResource(this.images[position]);
You can get Resources by name. like this:
ImageView img = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.img_place);
int resource = getResources().getIdentifier(image_string[0], "drawable", "com.package");
img.setImageResource(resource);
Assuming that image_string was an XML string array, you could do the following:
String[] image_string = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.image_string);
And then access elements like a normal array.
However, setImageResource takes the ID of a resource, not a string.
So to get the ID, you would do something like:
ImageView img = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.img_place);
String[] image_string = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.image_string);
img.setImageResource(getResources().getIdentifier(image_string[1] , "drawable", getPackageName()));
