No you can't. Your resources have to be inside the res folder.

is it possible to create resource ids programatically?

On Oct 1, 2:27 pm, Kostya Vasilyev kmans...@gmail.com wrote:
 The issue here is marshalling bitmap data from your widget process into the
 launcher process. If you load the bitmap in your process, and specify as a
 drawable in RemoteViews, then its actual bytes will need to be marshalled
 into the launcher process. This is not efficient. It's better to specify
 your drawables as a resource id.

 Updating every second is kind of questionable, it will eat through the
 battery pretty fast.

 I am writing a clock widget that uses customised bitmaps (so the
 widget loads the bitmap from the sdcard)

 Just have a couple of questions regarding how updates work:

 1. if i want to display seconds on the clock widget will the widget
 load the bitmaps off the disk every second or can they be cached
 somehow so it doesn't reload off the disk each time. or If it does
 reload a bitmap each second, would this use a lot of power?

 2. If i load the customised number bitmaps into a static array and
 then pass them as bitmaps to the widget would this use less power than
 just loading off the SD card?

 best regards,
 rob
