Question

I have an image view and a string src. I want to set the imageview source to the string src that I have, but am unable to do so beacuse the method expects an int:

imgview.setImageResource(int);

Since this method takes an int how can I accomplish my goal of using a string?

Answer 1

Each image has a resource-number, which is an integer. Pass this number to “setImageResource” and you should be ok.

e.g.:

imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.myimage);
