Project Description

---

Were you ever in a situation where you had to access Drawables based on their names (for example if the Drawable names are stored in a DB) and you had to write long lookup tables converting the names into R.drawable.ids? And maintaining them?

This library is offering a way around it by using reflection to access the Drawable directly by name. You only need to include them as normal into your Res folder tree. It has been benchmarked at up to 5x faster than the platform's Resources.getIdentifier() method.

It is using LRU caching to mitigate the reflection time overhead for both reflection "hits" and "misses".
