Assign ImageView src with drawable name

Issue

To make things simple: I got the drawable name from a JSON file and is now in a variable, how can I assign the correct drawable to an ImageView with the name as a String? We can assume that the drawable with that name always exists.

String image_name = "image1.png";

ImageView imageView = (ImageView)view.findViewById(R.id.myImageView);
imageView.setImageResource(image_name); // FAIL since is expecting the drawable and not the name as a String.

Solution

imageView.setImageResource(getDrawableFromName(context,"image1.png""));

public static int getDrawableFromName(Context context, String drawableName) {
    return context.getResources().getIdentifier(drawableName, "drawable",
            context.getPackageName());
}
