I'm making an app that shows images in a ImageView.

I have the images that I want to show and them won't change in runtime but there a lot of them (400+/-). And I don't know if I can use directly from the folder /res/drawable or if I have to store them in the internal storage.

Do you have any suggestion?

It should be stored in your internal memory because res/drawable are used to scale images that you implemented in your Views/layouts to be compatible with different DPI screens devices.

Since it is just an Image you want to show in your ImageView you really don't need to scale it, so internal storage is a way to go.

  • Ok, so the way is: First, I have to create a folder with my images in the internal storage and then I take the URL of the image and convert into Bitmap. Is it right? Can I use this answer [link](http://http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17674634/saving-images-to-internal-memory-in-android) as example ? – user3866898 Sep 04 '14 at 01:10
  • @user3866898 right2x. you need to create a folder and read it from your internal storage. – Rod_Algonquin Sep 04 '14 at 01:11
