Question

I have a list of Drawable stored in a Array. Now I would like to convert it into “res”(int datatype). Is this possible? Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

You’re probably trying to get a resID from a random Drawable. If so then this is impossible – drawable doesn’t store IDs.

But if you use TypedArray to load your drawables from resources (i.e. Resources.obtainTypedArray(R.array.your_imgs)) then you’ll be able to get resID by calling getResourceId(int index, int defValue):

TypedArray typedArray = mResources.obtainTypedArray(R.array.my_imgs);
int resID = typedArray.getResourceId(index, defValue);
