Android: Accessing list of local resources in Android

How can I access the list of drawables under my project "res/drawables"? Im new to Android I've seen an example like this:

Field[] drawables = android.R.drawable.class.getFields();
for (Field f : drawables) {
    try {
        System.out.println("R.drawable." + f.getName());
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

But this lists all the default drawables, not what I want:( I want to access those files and have their names to generate an xml, because my layout will be dynamic (number of drawables may differ from time to time).

Thanks for any help.

One suggestion would be to follow a naming convention for all your drawables. Say prefix them with your app name 'app'.

for(Field f:drawables){
    if(f.getName().startsWith("app")){
       //Your drawable.
    }
}

Replace

android.R.drawable.class.getFields();

with 

your.application.package.R.drawable.class.getFields();

to access your drawables.

You are probably wanting Context.getResources...
