You can use this.

 private Drawable colocaImgen(String nombreFile) {
    Drawable res1 = null;
    String uri1 = null;
    try {
        //First image
        uri1 = "@drawable/" + nombreFile;
        int imageResource1 = getResources().getIdentifier(uri1, null,getApplicationContext().getPackageName());
        res1 = getResources().getDrawable(imageResource1);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        //int imageResource1 = context.getResources().getIdentifier(uri1, null, context.getApplicationContext().getPackageName());
        res1 = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.globo2);// Default image
    }
    return res1;
}

Then

((ImageView) findViewById(R.id.youNameFile)).setImageDrawable(colocaImgen("NameFile"));
