How do you get the photo name of a picture in drawable?

How do you get the photo name of a picture in drawable? For instance if the photo was test.jpg then I want to get the name "test" from my image viewer. 

ImageView picture = new ImageView(this);
picture.setImageResource(R.id.test);
String hello = picture.getResource.name?

Any help would be appreciate thanks!

ImageView doesn't keep track of that, but you could extend ImageView and do it yourself. (Using the code from chessdork). Override the setImageResource method.

public class MyImageView extends ImageView {
    private String imageName;

    @Override
    public void setImageResource(int resourceId) {
       imageName = getResources().getResourceEntryName(resourceId);
       super.setImageResource(resourceId);
    }

    public String getImageName() {
       return imageName;
    }
}

I think getResources().getResourceEntryName(R.id.test) should do the trick.
