Saving to drawable folder programmatically in Android

I'm looking to have a user select an image from the gallery, and have this file saved as a permanent drawable resource when they open the app at a later time. Is this possible?

I mean as an object in the actual drawable folder.

You could instead save the image at internal folder and/or define a preference string. Check this old answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/3374138/4618976

No, it's not possible. "The drawable folder" doesn't exist as a file system folder at runtime - it's part of your (read-only) binary .apk file.
