Question

I need to add images into res/drawable folder dynamically as the user select images of his choice from a server…then store the corresponding R.drawable.imageid to Database..so as to load the user chosen images on the next run…Is there no way to do so…?

int[] images = {
   R.drawable.m1,R.drawable.m2, R.drawable.m3,                      
   R.drawable.m4,R.drawable.m5, R.drawable.m6,
   R.drawable.m7, R.drawable.m8,
   R.drawable.m9
               };

ImageView iv = (ImageView)findViewById(imageViews[next]);
iv.setImageResource(images[j]);  

Here R.drawable.m1, R.drawable.m2, R.drawable.m3, R.drawable.m4, R.drawable.m5, R.drawable.m6, R.drawable.m7, R.drawable.m8, R.drawable.m9 should be ids of images chosen by user from the server

You cannot write to res/drawable.

However you can look for other alternatives like external storage.
