barx Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 8, 2012 #1 Howdy do How would one return the Bitmap of the Icon file (or another file in the res/drawable folder)? And what is this: Code: BA.applicationContext.getResources().getIdentifier(s, "drawable", BA.packageName) returning. thanks

barx Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 8, 2012 #3 It appears to return an int value? I create a variable to store icon file for later use Code: private static String nIcon; Then later try to set it with Code: nIcon = BA.applicationContext.getResources().getIdentifier("icon", "drawable", BA.packageName); In Eclipse I get a type mismatch error 'Cannot convert from int to String' Any clues? thanks

barx Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 8, 2012 #6 Ha, I guess I now need to learn the difference between a Drawable and a Bitmap. And how to convert to Bitmap. The above obviously returns a drawable....... I need it to be a Bitmap..... Clues? lol
