How to find resource id of a file located in /res/raw folder by its filename?
I want to get the resource id of the file located in /res/raw
folder by filename. I have tried the following 2 methods but both of them return resource id as 0
(zero).
Method 1:
String filename = "abc.txt";
int id = getResources().getIdentifier(filename, "raw", getPackageName());
Method 2:
String filename = "abc.txt";
String fullyQualifiedName = getPackageName() + ":raw/" + filename;
int id = getResources().getIdentifier(fullyQualifiedName, null, null);
If this is not the correct way, then how do we get the resource id by filename located in raw
folder in Android.
Drop the extension:
String filename = "abc";
int id = getResources().getIdentifier(filename, "raw", getPackageName());
