Android recognize if resource id is drawable or string

Question

I would like to know if it is possible to recognize, if id is from drawable or strings resource.

For example: If I call R.strings.hello that return int value `2131099681.

Can i recognize that the id is from strings folder?

Answer 1

I guess you could use (in activity)

getResources().getResourceTypeName(int resid);

As suggested here

Answer 2

Give this a try

Resources.getResourceTypeName(int resid)
