Curiously, I just answered a related question seconds ago on StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2349652/android-open-resource-from-drawable-string/2349758#2349758 Given itemName, you can get the integer resource ID via the getIdentifier() method on the Resources object. This uses reflection, apparently, and therefore is comparatively expensive. Avoid it if possible, cache it if you need to use it. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
