String res = "R.drawable.image1";

I need to get it's INT id. Please help me!

Answer 1

Use this to get resource id:

int picId = getResources().getIdentifier(picName, "drawable", getApplicationContext().getPackageName());

Answer 2

If you want to get the integer then simply remove the quotes.

int id = R.drawable.image1; // instead of "R.drawable.image1"

That will give you the number.

Answer 3

View view = findViewById(R.drawable.image1);
int id = view.getId();
