How to set the image from drawable dynamically in android?

I am storing my project related images in drawable folder. Also I am storing the image names in string variable and dynamically I am trying to set those images to the imageview. But the image is not displaying. Please help me in this regard.

My Code:

int res = getResources().getIdentifier(imagename, "drawable", this.getPackageName());
imageview= (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView);
imageview.setImageResource(res);

In the above code "imagename" is the string variable which contains the image name.

Thanks in advance

Try this:

String uri = "@drawable/myresource";  // where myresource (without the extension) is the file

int imageResource = getResources().getIdentifier(uri, null, getPackageName());

imageview= (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView);
Drawable res = getResources().getDrawable(imageResource);
imageView.setImageDrawable(res);

Here i am setting the frnd_inactive image from drawable to the image

 imageview= (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView);
 imageview.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.frnd_inactive));

imageview= (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView);
imageview.setImageResource(R.drawable.mydrawable);

Try this Dynamic code

String fnm = "cat"; //  this is image file name
String PACKAGE_NAME = getApplicationContext().getPackageName();
int imgId = getResources().getIdentifier(PACKAGE_NAME+":drawable/"+fnm , null, null);
System.out.println("IMG ID :: "+imgId);
System.out.println("PACKAGE_NAME :: "+PACKAGE_NAME);
//    Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),imgId);
your_image_view.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),imgId));

In above code you will need Image-file-Name and Image-View object which both you are having.

See below code this is working for me

iv.setImageResource(getResources().getIdentifier(
                "imagename", "drawable", "com.package.application"));
