Issue

I'm trying to set a drawable id with a string, but it doesn't work..

So i tried this:

String NoteString = "R.drawable.notebackground".toString();

remoteviews.setImageViewResource(R.id.backgroundImage, context.getResources().getIdentifier(NoteString, "drawable", "com.example.MY-PACKAGE-NAME"));

but the image doesn't appear.

if i say this it works:

remoteviews.setImageViewResource(R.id.backgroundImage, R.drawable.notebackground);

what's wrong?

Solution

remoteviews.setImageViewResource(R.id.backgroundImage, getResources().getIdentifier(imageFilename, "drawable", getPackageName()));
