Question

I am trying to set a drawable to an ImageView from inside a custom adapter: SimpleCursorAdapter. This is the code I’m using:

@Override
public void bindView(View view, Context context, Cursor cursor) {
    super.bindView(view, context, cursor);
    ImageView i = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.icon);
    switch(Integer.parseInt(cursor.getString(4))){
    case 0:
        Drawable drawable = null;
        try {
            drawable = Resources.getSystem().getDrawable(R.drawable.andro_icon);
        } catch (NotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        i.setImageDrawable(drawable);

But this catches a Resources$NotFoundException :

02-29 06:39:48.467: W/System.err(13511): android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7f02000c

The resource R.drawable.andro_icon exists, the code compiles without any problem. I tried cleaning and rebuilding the project and restarting eclipse. What’s happening here?

Answer 1

You’re calling Resources.getSystem() but you want application resources, not system resources. Instead do:

context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.andro_icon);
