Retrieving all Drawable resources from Resources object

Viewed 31223

In my Android project, I want to loop through the entire collection of Drawable resources. Normally, you can only retrieve a specific resource via its ID using something like:

InputStream is = Resources.getSystem().openRawResource(resourceId)

However, I want to get all Drawable resources where I won't know their ID's beforehand. Is there a collection I can loop through or perhaps a way to get the list of resource ID's given the resources in my project?

Or, is there a way for me in Java to extract all property values from the R.drawable static class?

To create an array of drawables in Kotlin:

    val drawablesFields: Array<Field> = drawable::class.java.fields
    val drawables: ArrayList<Drawable> = ArrayList()
    for (field in drawablesFields) {
        context?.let { ContextCompat.getDrawable(it, field.getInt(null)) }?.let {
            drawables.add (
                it
            )
        }
    }
