Question

I have a folder elsewhere on the system with images I want to use in my Eclipse Android project. These images should also be able to generate ID’s so I can refer them in my app (like as if you would just copy them into drawable).
How do you do this?

Answer 1

You cant’ have folders in the drawable folder so this isn’t possible

edit: maybe using symbolic links

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_symbolic_link

edit2: tried this just now it works alright

edit3: example, I linked my c:\drawable folder to a drawable folder in my project/res directory with

from res directory (needs admin for c:/ )

mklink /D "./drawable" "c:/drawable"

you can do it for individual files too without /D
