I know how to get the resource id using of resource name.

Resources resources = context.getResources();
final int resourceId = resources.getIdentifier(name, "drawable", context.getPackageName());

Now I want to know how to get the name of resource using of it's id? Is it possible to get the name of the resource using ID?

Why do you need this? You can findViewById using the int id that is returned here – OneCricketeer Sep 09 '16 at 13:36
Also, you already have `name`.... – OneCricketeer Sep 09 '16 at 13:37
I am facing some issue while upgrade my app. I don't know how to fully explain my case. But I need this for solution. – Vijay Sep 09 '16 at 13:37
Thanks for the answers. :-) – Vijay Sep 09 '16 at 13:39
Can you show a [mcve] of the actual problem? Are you trying to dynamically access resources without going through R.java like R.drawable.name? – OneCricketeer Sep 09 '16 at 13:40
@Vijay Are you decompiling the apk? – K Neeraj Lal Sep 09 '16 at 13:41
No @KNeerajLal.. We release a app to our client. Now we give another update to them. Unfortunately the resource id are changed. So that we face some crash issues. To avoid that we planned to get the resource name using of id and that we do some logics to change the resource. I don't know how to explain this clearly. Sorry..!! – Vijay Sep 09 '16 at 13:46
