I would recommend just having another resource holding an array of the drawables to include. See for example this declaring one:
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=core/res/res/values/arrays.xml;h=a0bc5b36923f5d88d4bbc98645d29340d187d434;hb=HEAD#l24 <http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=core/res/res/values/arrays.xml;h=a0bc5b36923f5d88d4bbc98645d29340d187d434;hb=HEAD#l24>And this reading it: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=core/java/com/android/internal/os/ZygoteInit.java;h=b677b1e6048988a02ddb65ee2dff54acd82061ba;hb=HEAD#l415 Sure, it is one more step required when adding a resource, but at runtime it is going to be far more efficient than other solutions that require scanning through resources or R symbols or such.
