How to set the image from drawable dynamically in android?

Question

I am storing my project related images in drawable folder. Also I am storing the image names in string variable and dynamically I am trying to set those images to the imageview. But the image is not displaying. Please help me in this regard.

My Code:

int res = getResources().getIdentifier(imagename, "drawable", this.getPackageName()); imageview= (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView); imageview.setImageResource(res); 

In the above code "imagename" is the string variable which contains the image name.

Thanks in advance

Try this:

String uri = "@drawable/myresource";  // where myresource (without the extension) is the file  int imageResource = getResources().getIdentifier(uri, null, getPackageName());  imageview= (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView); Drawable res = getResources().getDrawable(imageResource); imageView.setImageDrawable(res);
