I apologize if this seems really simple but I can’t figure it out. I have an ImageButton that I want to change the image of at run-time based on a button click. I have 5 images in my res folder. When the user hits the “Next” button, I want it to go to the next image. The file names of the images are image1.png, image2.png, etc.

I know I you can change the image by doing:

imgButton.setImageResource(R.drawable.image2);

I have a counter (int) to keep track of the image number being displayed. But how would i change the image to the next image? Any help would be appreciated.

    Create an Array of integers to hold the references to your images, e.g.

    int[] images = new int[5];
images[0] = R.drawable.image001;
images[1] = R.drawable.image002;
images[2] = R.drawable.image003;
images[3] = R.drawable.image004;
images[4] = R.drawable.image005;

    And then increment your counter on each click, and set the image resource using a value from your array:

    imgButton.setImageResource(images[counter]);

    Easy when you know how… 😉
