Hot to set two Image Arrays from (Values)XML in to one common Array

Question

i´m newbie in android programming and try to set two Image Array from (Values)XML in to one common Array using TypedArray.

Here are my XML Arrays:

<array name="Img1">
<item>  @drawable/pic_1 </item>
<item>  @drawable/pic_2 </item> 
<item>  @drawable/pic_3 </item> 
</array>

<array name="Img2">
<item>  @drawable/pic_4 </item>
<item>  @drawable/pic_5 </item> 
<item>  @drawable/pic_6 </item> 
</array>

imprtant part of java code in onCreate method:

private TypedArray Images;

TypedArray img1 = res.obtainTypedArray(R.array.Img1);
TypedArray img2 = res.obtainTypedArray(R.array.Img2):

ArrayList<TypedArray> img = new ArrayList<TypedArray>();
img.addAll(Arrays.asList(img1));
img.addAll(Arrays.asList(img2));
Images = img.toArray(new TypedArray(img1.length()+img2.length); <-- NOT WORKING!

what ist wron in my code? maybe i can solve the problem by another way?

Thank you very much!!!

public class c_DTArtikel_allforsearch extends Activity implements AdapterView.OnItemClickListener { //Variablen deklarieren! private ListView ListViewLayout; private String[] Number; private int[] ImagesID; private EditText Search; ArrayList name = new ArrayList();

My method:

private ListView ListViewLayout;
private int[] ImagesID;
private EditText Search;
ArrayList<String> name = new ArrayList<String>();

@Override

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    Resources res = getResources();

    String[] saugname = res.getStringArray(R.array.SauglanzeName);

    String[] saugnummer = res.getStringArray(R.array.SauglanzeNumber);
    String[] pumpmnummer = res.getStringArray(R.array.PumpMNummer);

    TypedArray saugimg = res.obtainTypedArray(R.array.SauglanzeImg);
    TypedArray pumpmimg = res.obtainTypedArray(R.array.PumpeMImg);


    name.addAll(Arrays.asList(saugname));
    name.addAll(Arrays.asList(pumpmname));


    ArrayList<String> number = new ArrayList<String>();
    number.addAll(Arrays.asList(saugnummer));

    final TIAdapter adapter = new TIAdapter(this, name, ImagesID, Number);
    ListViewLayout.setAdapter(adapter);
    ListViewLayout.setOnItemClickListener(this);

    Search.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

        @Override
        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence cs, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3) {
            // When user changed the Text

class Adapter:

    class TIAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> {

    TIAdapter(Context c, ArrayList<String> Artikel, int[] imgs, String[] Nummer) {

        View row = convertView;
        ImageView imageView = null;

            if(dt1 != null)
                dt1.cancel(true);
        }

        imageView.setImageBitmap(null);
        DecodeTask dt2 = new DecodeTask(getContext(), imageView, ImagesID[position]);
        dt2.execute();

        TextView textViewArtikel = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.textViewArtikel);
        TextView textViewArtikelNummer = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.textViewArtikelNummer);

        imageView.setTag(R.id.imageViewArtikel, dt2);
        textViewArtikel.setText(name.get(position));
        textViewArtikelNummer.setText(Number[position]);
        return row;
    }
}

Answer 1

Maybe something like this:

   ArrayList<Drawable> img = new ArrayList<Drawable>();

   int nr = -1;
   while ( ++nr < img1.length() )
       img.add( img1.getDrawable(nr));

   nr = -1;
   while ( ++nr < img2.length() )
       img.add( img2.getDrawable(nr));

   Drawable [] Images;
   Images = img.toArray(new Drawable[img.size()] );  

Answer 2

Maybe better to give the adapter an array of resource identifiers (which are Integers).

   ArrayList<Integer> imgInts = new ArrayList<Integer>();

   int nr = -1;
   while ( ++nr < img1.length() )
       imgInts.add (img1.getResourceId(nr, 0)); 

   nr = -1;
   while ( ++nr < img2.length() )          
       imgInts.add (img1.getResourceId(nr, 0));  

   int[] ResourceIds = new int[imgInts.size()];
   for (int i=0; i < imgInts.size(); i++)
   {
    ResourceIds[i] = ((Integer) imgInts.get(i)).intValue();
    }

Use ResourceIds as parameter to construct the adapter.
