Public Methods

public XmlResourceParser getAnimation (int id)

Added in API level 1

Return an XmlResourceParser through which you can read an animation description for the given resource ID. This parser has limited functionality -- in particular, you can't change its input, and only the high-level events are available.

This function is really a simple wrapper for calling getXml(int) with an animation resource.

Parameters
id The desired resource identifier, as generated by the aapt tool. This integer encodes the package, type, and resource entry. The value 0 is an invalid identifier.
Returns
  • A new parser object through which you can read the XML data.

public int getColor (int id)

Added in API level 1

This method is deprecated.
Use getColor(int, Theme) instead.

Returns a color integer associated with a particular resource ID. If the resource holds a complex ColorStateList, then the default color from the set is returned.

Parameters
id The desired resource identifier, as generated by the aapt tool. This integer encodes the package, type, and resource entry. The value 0 is an invalid identifier.
Returns
  • A single color value in the form 0xAARRGGBB.

public ColorStateList getColorStateList (int id)

Added in API level 1

This method is deprecated.
Use getColorStateList(int, Theme) instead.

Returns a color state list associated with a particular resource ID. The resource may contain either a single raw color value or a complex ColorStateList holding multiple possible colors.

Parameters
id The desired resource identifier of a ColorStateList, as generated by the aapt tool. This integer encodes the package, type, and resource entry. The value 0 is an invalid identifier.
Returns
  • A ColorStateList object containing either a single solid color or multiple colors that can be selected based on a state.

public Configuration getConfiguration ()

Added in API level 1

Return the current configuration that is in effect for this resource object. The returned object should be treated as read-only.

Returns
  • The resource's current configuration.

public float getDimension (int id)

Added in API level 1

Retrieve a dimensional for a particular resource ID. Unit conversions are based on the current DisplayMetrics associated with the resources.

Parameters
id The desired resource identifier, as generated by the aapt tool. This integer encodes the package, type, and resource entry. The value 0 is an invalid identifier.
Returns
  • Resource dimension value multiplied by the appropriate metric.

public int getDimensionPixelOffset (int id)

Added in API level 1

Retrieve a dimensional for a particular resource ID for use as an offset in raw pixels. This is the same as getDimension(int), except the returned value is converted to integer pixels for you. An offset conversion involves simply truncating the base value to an integer.

Parameters
id The desired resource identifier, as generated by the aapt tool. This integer encodes the package, type, and resource entry. The value 0 is an invalid identifier.
Returns
  • Resource dimension value multiplied by the appropriate metric and truncated to integer pixels.

public int getDimensionPixelSize (int id)

Added in API level 1

Retrieve a dimensional for a particular resource ID for use as a size in raw pixels. This is the same as getDimension(int), except the returned value is converted to integer pixels for use as a size. A size conversion involves rounding the base value, and ensuring that a non-zero base value is at least one pixel in size.

Parameters
id The desired resource identifier, as generated by the aapt tool. This integer encodes the package, type, and resource entry. The value 0 is an invalid identifier.
Returns
  • Resource dimension value multiplied by the appropriate metric and truncated to integer pixels.

public DisplayMetrics getDisplayMetrics ()

Added in API level 1

Return the current display metrics that are in effect for this resource object. The returned object should be treated as read-only.

Returns
  • The resource's current display metrics.

public Drawable getDrawable (int id)

Added in API level 1

This method is deprecated.
Use getDrawable(int, Theme) instead.

Return a drawable object associated with a particular resource ID. Various types of objects will be returned depending on the underlying resource -- for example, a solid color, PNG image, scalable image, etc. The Drawable API hides these implementation details.

Note: Prior to JELLY_BEAN, this function would not correctly retrieve the final configuration density when the resource ID passed here is an alias to another Drawable resource. This means that if the density configuration of the alias resource is different than the actual resource, the density of the returned Drawable would be incorrect, resulting in bad scaling. To work around this, you can instead retrieve the Drawable through TypedArray.getDrawable. Use Context.obtainStyledAttributes with an array containing the resource ID of interest to create the TypedArray.

Note: To obtain a themed drawable, use Context.getDrawable(int) or getDrawable(int, Theme) passing the desired theme.

Parameters
id The desired resource identifier, as generated by the aapt tool. This integer encodes the package, type, and resource entry. The value 0 is an invalid identifier.
Returns
  • Drawable An object that can be used to draw this resource.

public int getIdentifier (String name, String defType, String defPackage)

Added in API level 1

Return a resource identifier for the given resource name. A fully qualified resource name is of the form "package:type/entry". The first two components (package and type) are optional if defType and defPackage, respectively, are specified here.

Note: use of this function is discouraged. It is much more efficient to retrieve resources by identifier than by name.

Parameters
name The name of the desired resource.
defType Optional default resource type to find, if "type/" is not included in the name. Can be null to require an explicit type.
defPackage Optional default package to find, if "package:" is not included in the name. Can be null to require an explicit package.
Returns
  • int The associated resource identifier. Returns 0 if no such resource was found. (0 is not a valid resource ID.)

public int[] getIntArray (int id)

Added in API level 1

Return the int array associated with a particular resource ID.

Parameters
id The desired resource identifier, as generated by the aapt tool. This integer encodes the package, type, and resource entry. The value 0 is an invalid identifier.
Returns
  • The int array associated with the resource.

public int getInteger (int id)

Added in API level 1

Return an integer associated with a particular resource ID.

Parameters
id The desired resource identifier, as generated by the aapt tool. This integer encodes the package, type, and resource entry. The value 0 is an invalid identifier.
Returns
  • Returns the integer value contained in the resource.

public XmlResourceParser getLayout (int id)

Added in API level 1

Return an XmlResourceParser through which you can read a view layout description for the given resource ID. This parser has limited functionality -- in particular, you can't change its input, and only the high-level events are available.

This function is really a simple wrapper for calling getXml(int) with a layout resource.

Parameters
id The desired resource identifier, as generated by the aapt tool. This integer encodes the package, type, and resource entry. The value 0 is an invalid identifier.
Returns
  • A new parser object through which you can read the XML data.

public String getQuantityString (int id, int quantity)

Added in API level 1

Returns the string necessary for grammatically correct pluralization of the given resource ID for the given quantity. Note that the string is selected based solely on grammatical necessity, and that such rules differ between languages. Do not assume you know which string will be returned for a given quantity. See String Resources for more detail.

Parameters
id The desired resource identifier, as generated by the aapt tool. This integer encodes the package, type, and resource entry. The value 0 is an invalid identifier.

public TypedArray obtainTypedArray (int id)

Added in API level 1

Return an array of heterogeneous values.

Parameters
id The desired resource identifier, as generated by the aapt tool. This integer encodes the package, type, and resource entry. The value 0 is an invalid identifier.
Returns
  • Returns a TypedArray holding an array of the array values. Be sure to call TypedArray.recycle() when done with it.

public InputStream openRawResource (int id)

Parameters
id The resource identifier to open, as generated by the appt tool.
Returns
  • InputStream Access to the resource data.

public AssetFileDescriptor openRawResourceFd (int id)

Added in API level 1

Open a file descriptor for reading a raw resource. This can only be used with resources whose value is the name of an asset files -- that is, it can be used to open drawable, sound, and raw resources; it will fail on string and color resources.

This function only works for resources that are stored in the package as uncompressed data, which typically includes things like mp3 files and png images.

Parameters
id The resource identifier to open, as generated by the appt tool.
Returns
  • AssetFileDescriptor A new file descriptor you can use to read the resource. This includes the file descriptor itself, as well as the offset and length of data where the resource appears in the file. A null is returned if the file exists but is compressed.
