Does anyone know if it is possible to make Android not generate new ID’s

  • 0

Does anyone know if it is possible to make Android not generate new ID’s for resources that is added to raw, drawable and other resource-folders?
The problem is that if I for example add an image with the name 3.jpg, and later on adds another image called 2.jpg the ID for image 3.jpg gets changed.
I need to keep the ID’s static as the ID’s are defined in XML files and used in the app to get the resources based on the ID.

I may have done something wrong when I tested it so it may be that the ID does not get changed, but as far as I can remember ID got changed when adding new resources.

Thanks for any help.

    As far as i know, R.java is autogenerated and all resource ID’s are internally allocated by eclipse. Technically your code should not depend on the ID’s generated. So even if ID’s keep changing, it is absolutely fine. If you are depending on the generated ID’s in your code, you will keep running into problems.
