I have a set of resource ids stored in an array. This is accessed inside the recycler view to populate an image view. The problem is when I access the array, all values returned is 0.
// arrays.xml
<array name="array_category_icons">
<item>@drawable/autumn</item>
<item>@drawable/backpack</item>
</array>
// inside recycler view adapter
int[] myIcons = getActivity().getResources().getIntArray(R.array.array_category_icons);
myIcons[i] always returns 0.
The drawables are in the hdpi folder only.
Do this:
TypedArray ta = getResources().obtainTypedArray(R.array.array_category_icons);
Drawable[] icons = new Drawable[ta.length()];
for (int i = 0; i < ta.length(); i++) {
int id = ta.getResourceId(i, 0);
if (id != 0) {
icons[i] = ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, id);
}
}
ta.recycle();
