By R.drawable you are referring to the drawable property of R. This property is of type Drawable, which is an interface. You cannot instantiate an interface, only one of the implementing subclasses. These classes can be found in the Drawable API: http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/graphics/drawable/Drawable.html
BitmapDrawable, ClipDrawable, ColorDrawable, DrawableContainer, GradientDrawable, InsetDrawable, LayerDrawable, NinePatchDrawable, PictureDrawable, RotateDrawable, ScaleDrawable, ShapeDrawable So you will do something like this: Drawable d = new BitmapDrawable(); I suggest you should read one of the many Java books out there to get acquainted with the language basics, before delving into a particular framework/mobile OS like Android.
