Android - load image from path

Question

In my project I have image localized in

app\src\main\res\drawable\informations\angry_face.png

When I want to load it using

Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile("app\\src\\main\\res\\drawable\\informations\\angry_face.png");
this.image.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

Error occurs:

Unable to decode stream: java.io.FileNotFoundException: app\src\main\res\drawable\informations\angry_face.png: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Question is: How to set the path to this resource?
Thanks for help :)

Answer 1

You are accessing the resources wrongly:

Try this instead:

Bitmap myAngryImage = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.angry_face);
