android - Why there is no method to get Resource Name from Drawable object

Question

To create Drawable object from any resource we can use the following code (my image name is arrow_selected.png)

Drawable d =getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.arow_selected);

But later in the application I want to get the resource name from this drawable object. I didnot find any method to get resource name like the following

d.getResourceName();

Why there is no such method in android API. How can I get Resource Name from Drawable object?

Answer 1

I was doing a search for this as well but I came up with the following solution:

String name = context.getResources().getResourceEntryName(imageResID);

I hope this helps.
