I would like to dynamically build-up a status bar icon from multiple images.
Currently, the only way I can do this is using a ton of layer-list XML files for all the combinations of the icons I would like to display. I've seen code for doing something similar to the layer-list.xml files in Java, but I can't figure-out how to "assign" my new layerlist or layerdrawable to my icon's resource ID (required with the notification API). There was something very close to what I want to do over on StackOverflow in "solution #2 (dynamic)" of this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2739971/overlay-two-images-in-android-to-set-an-imageview Daniel's "solution #1" (in the above link) works wonderfully for the static .xml files, but I'm looking for a more elegant, dynamic solution. In the above post, the code snippet: Resources r = getResources(); Drawable[] layers = new Drawable[2]; layers[0] = r.getDrawable(R.drawable.t); layers[1] = r.getDrawable(R.drawable.tt); LayerDrawable layerDrawable = new LayerDrawable(layers); appears to be very close to what I want, but I don't know or understand how to "assign" the new layerDrawable to my notification icon (which takes an integer resource ID). I have a sneaky suspicion that I simply cannot do this...but I thought I'd ask here (its been over a month on StackOverflow with no replies).
