How to get Resource Name from Resource id

Question

In my layout I have defined something like this .

<RadioButton     android:id="@+id/radio1"     android:layout_width="wrap_content"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:text="Dnt want this text" /> 

Assume that some function in activity returns me this id (id of radioButton). Now i want to get this text radio1 from this id. In short I want to retrieve text radio1 written in android:id="@+id/radio1"

Can somebody tell me how is it possible ?

Answer 1

In your Activity, try these:

1. to get string like radio1:

   getResources().getResourceEntryName(int resid); 

2. to get string like com.sample.app:id/radio1:

   getResources().getResourceName(int resid); 

In Kotlin Now :

val name = v.context.resources.getResourceEntryName(v.id) 

Answer 2

You have id('long' type) from that id you want to access radio button id(name) that is radio1. You use this

getResources().getResourceEntryName(id); 

in using above you can get name of radio button i.e. radio1. here parameter id is which you have(long type). Try this it will helps you 100%.
