Write to /res/drawable/ on the fly?

Question

My widget reads an image from /res/drawable/.

I would like to be able to change the image and write it back out to the /res/drawable/ structure.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

Everything in the apk will be read only. And it's even better: android doesn't extract the apk when you install a program, so the size consumed is kept to minimal.

Answer 2

You cannot write to res/drawable.

Answer 3

Nope. But you can change your program to use alternate forms of storage.
