I have an application that capture face image and store it in a folder. How can I manually add the images that I want inside the folder using drawable resource? The folder path is

mPath = getFilesDir() + "/faceimages/";

So basically how can I make png image in res/drawable/*.png available in faceimages folder?

Or is there any other way around I can make my png files available in the folder?

If I correctly understand, you can't. res/drawable can't be edited at runtime. It is filled only when developing. – Artem Mostyaev Mar 10 '16 at 19:00
thanks. You have any other idea how can i make the images available in the folder? – Farhan Aznan Mar 10 '16 at 19:47
Why are they not available? You can use images as files from the filesystem - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4181774/show-image-view-from-file-path-in-android – Artem Mostyaev Mar 10 '16 at 19:50
