We have about 300 drawables/icons in our application and each drawable/ icon is associated with an Id meaningful within the functional context of our app. These icons are to be displayed in a Gallery and when the user makes a selection, the relevant "Id" for the selected icon needs to be passed to the backend server.
Presently, inside getView of the Gallery Adapter, we are making use of getResources().getIdentifier() to fetch appropriate icons since we know only the names of the icons and their IDs. We DO NOT know their resource ID. The official documentation discourages use of this API. Also, though we have not yet instrumented our code, people have said this API and also reflection is inefficient. Questions: What are other alternatives that we can try? How should such resources be bundled so that they can be addressed in code efficiently?
