title: Accessing drawable rescources from a library project in Android
body: <p>I am trying to search for drawable (pictures) in a resource file in android from my library project Is it possible without the context of the of the actual android project or do I need to add that in?  Also how would I be able to find an ID through my library project by using a string as the name of the ID and then convert it to the appropriate integer to set the background resource.</p>
  
  <p>This is what I have tried so far:  This works but only looks at the rescources in the library project, I need to look at the resources in the current application project</p>
  
  <pre><code>  try
              {
                  Class res = R.drawable.class;
                  Field field =
                      res.getField("string_ID_I_want");
                  drawableId = field.getInt(null);
              }
  </code></pre>
