Re: [android-developers] assign drawable to variable not imageview

Got the assigning working. Does this method return a value like R.drawable.imagename or some other thing.

Presumably, you need a Drawable variable. You assign it the same way
you assign anything else in Java. Please consider asking Java syntax
questions on StackOverflow, tagged with the 'java' tag.

Track it yourself, since you are the one assigning the resources to
the ImageView. An ImageView may not have a "current image resource",
since it may not have been populated with a resource in the first
place (e.g., loaded with a bitmap from a downloaded PNG file). If you
are trying to use getDrawable() to tell what your "current image
resource" is, that will not work.
