Hi all,
in my application I have a table that stores information for symbols.
These symbols have to be displayed, so also the source, the *.png, is
stored in each row. These symbols are loaded randomly at runtime.
How do I get the the image(s) to be loaded?
getResources().getIdentifier(symbolIdentifier, null, null) always
results 0 (zero).
Here is the code:
private void loadSymbol(final String source) {
int imageIdentifier = getResources().getIdentifier
(symbolIdentifier, null, null);
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),
imageIdentifier);
mImageOfSymbol.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
mImageOfSymbol.setVisibility(ImageView.VISIBLE);
mImageOfSymbol.refreshDrawableState();
}
It says in the JavaDoc that the use of getIdentifier() is discouraged.
What is a best practice to load images at runtime, when only knowing
the source as a string?
Many thanks in advance.
Ciao,
Tommaso
