How do I add an image in the drawable folder to an ImageView in Android Studio 1.2?
Solution 1
try with this way of code there are three ways to set image on ImageView
imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.play);
or
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/ivProfileBg"
android:src="@drawable/image_name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
or
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/ivProfileBg"
android:background="@drawable/image_name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
Solution 2
Paste the PNG image in the following directory <Project-Name>\app\src\main\res\drawable\
(if the drawable directory doesn't exist, create a new one).
now add the src attribute to the imageView like i done.
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/ivProfileBg"
android:src="@drawable/image_name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
where the image_name is the name of the PNG image you just pasted into the drawable directory.
if you wanted to paste the image into the hdpi section, you must create the directory under res\
folder, then the path would be <Project-Name>\app\src\main\res\drawable-hdpi\

Since Google added the mipmap folder for the launcher icons, I have had issues using the drawables folder. I manually added the hdpi folders in the drawable folder, but when I try and add the src path, the images won't allow me to view and select them. How do I add an image in the drawable folder to an ImageView in Android Studio 1.2?
