Question

Is it possible to overwrite resource from your app?

If so, how can I get the path to pass to the OutputStream?

I tried something like:

FileOutputStream("/data/data/com.myapp.test/res/drawable/image.png");

but I get a file not found.

Thanks

Resources cannot be overwritten. You could, however, check to see if you have an overloaded resource in a file within your application’s space and, if so, make use of that instead. This wouldn’t translate directly into layout.xml references though, you would need to manage this programatically, without using resource IDs.
