What's the best way to refer to Android resource IDs from a SQLite database?
For instance if I have a "category" table with cols id, and category_name. Right now I store a default English name in category_name, but I'd also like to be able to localize that when I display it in the UI. The one approach I've considered is to use the category_name col to store a string representation of the Android resource name (e.g. category_name_fine_dining), then use getResources().getIdentifier() with this column value to get the resource ID, which I can then use to lookup the localized string. The API doc warns about the performance of this method though, so presumably the lookup would need to be cached. Are there better ways of handling this? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
