On my application I have many pictures which I have grouped in folder under res/drawable. But Android dosen’t let me access them trough “R”. Is there a way to access those folders.

This is the Code im using for.

    ImageView iv = new ImageView(conext);
    iv.setImageResource(R.drawable.**smiley.666**);

I marked the part which I can’t access.

Thx in Advance

    No, Android does not allow subfolders under /res/drawable: Can the Android drawable directory contain subdirectories?

    You can however, add all image files under /drawable and then access them programmatically via:

    int drawableID = context.getResources().getIdentifier("drawableName", "drawable", getPackageName());
iv.setImageResource(drawableID);

    Where drawableName is a name of the drawable file, i.e. myimage if image file is myimage.jpg.

    The code above will get image resource with id R.drawable.drawableName.
