Android: drawable resource with numbers. Is it possible?

I’m creating an android application that includes images.

every couple of images contains the following naming convention:

001a.jpg
001b.jpg

002a.jpg
002b.jpg
...

since I coped the images to res/drawable directory
I got Syntax error for every image that I copied. I copied 40 images, so 40 syntax
error messages.

the syntax error message only contain the number of the image and not the all image name.
for example: instead of 001a.jpg and 001b.jpg i just see the following twice:

Syntax error on token: "001". delete this token

any ideas?

Resources must follow a name pattern (in your case not start with a number), because the file name is used as a java field name in R. So it must be a valid java identifier.
