I have a short question:

How is it possible to convert a String, containing the Id of a Drawable, which is

String idString = "R.drawable.bubblegum";

to an Integer,

idInt

so that I can use that ID for the reference of an image (, which is used in a SimpleAdapter)

So, to make an example, I can’t do that:

bubble.setImageDrawable(this.getResources().getDrawable(idString));
//not possible, cause idString is a String an not an Id/Int

So, I have the String that’s containing the id, but unfortunately as a String.

Thanks!

    At least, I couldn’t get a solution for this problem. It seems that there’s no way to convert a String “R.id.mytext” into an integer like R.id.mytext that can be used in findViewById(R.id.myText).
