Question

Trying to loop through my array of ImageViews, ran into the problem when it came to finding the position of the resources. The pic below shows the problem!

Does findViewById take strings? How would I go about this?

Answer 1

findViewById takes an int which you reference by using the auto-generated R class to reference your resources that are statically transformed into int representations. To loop through them you’d have to do:

int[] myResources = {R.id.foo, R.id.bar, R.id.buzz}

for(int i = 0; i<myResources.length; i++) {
      (ImageView)findViewById(myResources[i]).setOnClickListener(this);
}
