Picasso load drawable resources from their URI

I have to show a drawable from res into an ImageView. In this app, I'm using Picasso for some reasons.

In this case, I need to load the drawable using its URI and not its id. To do that, here is my code:

uri = Uri.parse(ContentResolver.SCHEME_ANDROID_RESOURCE + "://"+context.getPackageName()+"/drawable/" + drawableName);

where drawableName used here are file names rather than their resource ids.

Then

Picasso.with(context).load(uri).into(imageView);

I know for sure that drawable name is correct, but Picasso seems it does not like this uri.

Solution 1:

If the images is in your drawable folder then you can just load it.

Picasso.with(context).load(R.drawable.drawableName).into(imageView);

and picasso will load it no need for an Uri.

Found the answer. Unfortunately, Picasso do not allow drawable loading via URI. It is an incoming feature.

You can load local image files from your drawable folder lazily if you know the integer value of the image that you want to be loaded.

Then you can just do:

Picasso.with(getContext()).load(imageResourceId)
.error(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.into(imageView);

Where

imageView

is the view you wish to display the image. For example:

imageView = (ImageView) convertView
.findViewById(R.id.itemImage);

And where

imageResourceId

is the integer value of the drawable. You can retrieve this integer value by:

int productImageId = resources.getIdentifier(
productImageName, "drawable", context.getPackageName());

as well as

productImageName

is the name of the drawable you want to draw (i.e. "ic_launcher")

THIS CAN ALL BE DONE INSIDE FROM THE ADAPTER
