Use dynamic filename in Android R.drawable.<filename>

Issue

I'm trying to dynamically construct the filename of an image in Android to use in the R.drawable. clause.

Here's my code:

    imgHouse = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView);
    strHouseNameImageFile = strHouseName + ".png";
    imgHouse.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.<filename>);

And in the last line above, I really want it to be a combination of the house name and .png but I'm not sure how to put a string together that will be used by R.drawable.

Could I do something like this for the last line, which now gives an error in Android Studio: imgHouse.setBackgroundResource(strHouseNameImageFiles);

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Solution

int iconResId = getResources().getIdentifier(strHouseName, "drawable",getPackageName());

imgHouse.setImageResource(iconResId);
