how to get image path from resource as a string in java in android

I want the image path from the drawable under resources as a string but it shows error . But I can't identify what the error is. I provide some code snippet. 

listView = view.findViewById(R.id.listView);

ArrayList<Card> list = new ArrayList<>();

//here the error
String img = "drawable://" + R.drawable.tiger;

Note: when I placed image name (tiger) it gives me error

list.add(new Card("drawable://" + R.drawable.tiger, "Royal Bengal Tiger"));

That's not how you get resources

what you want is ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, R.drawable.name);

A drawable resource is a file on your development machine. It is not a file on the device. There is no path to it on the device.

i provide some code snippet

There is no drawable scheme in Android. This also is not an image path.

If your Card requires a Uri, you can try android.resource as a scheme.
