No, it is not.

Drawable drawable = this.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_launcher);

e.g. will give you the default launcher icon. It is not possible to get the exact path for an image , that is stored in drawable.

Why not? When you compile your app to an *.apk file, all resources (ok, except from them in /raw) are compiled as well. You can only acces them, using their R. id.

Solution? Not really, you could copy them to a location on the sd card for example. Now you know the location :)
