Anyway to compare int to drawable?ANDROID

Question

Is there anyway to compare s to a? In this code I have int s as the answer and if the drawable == s then I want to display a \"Correct!\" toast mes

Answer 1

try this

public void MyClick(View view)
    {
     Drawable fDraw = view.getBackground();
     Drawable sDraw = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.twt_hover);

      if(fDraw.hashCode() == sDraw.hashCode())
      {
       //Not coming
      }
    }

or use following code

Use getTag() and setTag() for comparison

Answer 2

Comparing a Drawable instance to an int doesn't make sense. What are you trying to do? Do you want to check if the method res.getDrawable(R.drawable.exitbtn); returns the right object?

I think it's redundant to fetch an identifier from R-file:

int s = R.drawable.exitbtn;

Then fetch the object using the very same identifier:

Drawable drawable = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.exitbtn);

And then try to check whether it's really the right object by comparing ids.

I think that there's no place for mistake (specifically, confusion of an int value) when it comes to getting a Drawable by id. If you want to be sure the object has been created, check it against a null.

Drawable drawable = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.exitbtn);
if(drawable != null){
   //do stuff
} else {
   //handle the situation where there's no drawable
}

Also, I think there's no way to fetch an id from a Drawable object. The instance returned by getDrawable does not contain such information.

Better yet, you can use the fact that getDrawable can throw a NotFoundException if the id is somehow wrong. Check the docs for details.
