I want the image path from the drawable under resources as a string but it shows error . But I can't identify what the error is. I provide some code snippet. 

listView = view.findViewById(R.id.listView);

ArrayList<Card> list = new ArrayList<>();

//here the error
String img = "drawable://" + R.drawable.tiger;

Note: when I placed image name (tiger) it gives me error

list.add(new Card("drawable://" + R.drawable.tiger, "Royal Bengal Tiger"));

i want the image path from the drawable under resources

A drawable resource is a file on your development machine. It is not a file on the device. There is no path to it on the device.

i provide some code snippet

There is no drawable scheme in Android. This also is not an image path.

If your Card requires a Uri, you can try android.resource as a scheme.

  • You would need to talk to the developer of that tutorial. We cannot help you with that tutorial, as we did not write it. – CommonsWare Jan 16 '19 at 19:34

That's not how you get resources

what you want is ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, R.drawable.name);

  • That example uses a library called `Universal Image Loader` without going through that library and seeing what is does with that string I cant tell you but its not behavior that you can get without it – tyczj Jan 16 '19 at 20:01
