How do you obtain a Drawable object from a resource id in android package?

Question

I need to get a Drawable object to display on an image button. Is there a way to use the code below (or something like it) to get an object from the android.R.drawable.* package?

for example if drawableId was android.R.drawable.ic_delete

mContext.getResources().getDrawable(drawableId) 

Answer 1

Drawable d = getResources().getDrawable(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_email); ImageView image = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.image); image.setImageDrawable(d);
