How to get a resource id with a known resource name?

Question

I want to access a resource like a String or a Drawable by its name and not its int id.

Which method would I use for this?

Answer 1

In Kotlin following works fine for me:

val id = resources.getIdentifier("your_resource_name", "drawable", context?.getPackageName())

If resource is place in mipmap folder, you can use parameter "mipmap" instead of "drawable".
