How to get resource id from String in Android [duplicate]

Question

I need get a resource ID from string

String s = "R.raw.button5";

final MediaPlayer mp2 = MediaPlayer.create(this,Integer.valueOf((s));

Answer 1

You can use getIdentifier(....). If you have button with id "R.id.button5" then this is your code.

int id = getResources().getIdentifier("button5", "id", context.getPackageName());
final MediaPlayer mp2 = MediaPlayer.create(this,id);
