  • 0

In my drawable folders i have my icon image, and when testing i use it as a temp picture. I added 2 other images and a XML file and when ever the app loads the imageviews with the icon set to it has different images..

this is what it is meant to be be..
enter image description here

but this is what it is when i add other images to the drawable folder
enter image description here

And no, the names of the files are not the same.
The icon is called ‘icon.png’ – thats what it should be
instead it is ‘ic_menu_compose.png’ – a completely different name.

Also the files i’m adding are called:
‘buttonnormal.png’
‘buttonclicked.png’
and a XML file – ‘buttonselector.xml’

Even if i dont use these images any where within my app the problem still occurs.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! 🙂

    Are you building your app inbetween tests?

    In eclipse: Project > Build Automatically (ticked) (this regenerates your R file)

    Are you referencing the image by a raw ID?

    setImageResource(324234234); WRONG

    setImageResource(R.drawable.blah); Right

    Are you using drawable image names that are already in use by the Android system: http://androiddrawableexplorer.appspot.com/

    Personally I would rename that images from “ic_menu_compose” to something like “icon_menu_compose_overwritten” just incase it is clashing and screwing up your R file.
