If you want to read an image from drawable directory, but you have only the image name (NO the image path) you could get them from an activity like this:

Resources res = getResources();
int resId = res.getIdentifier("MY_IMAGE", "drawable", getPackageName());
if(resId==0) 
     throw new Exception("drawable resource not found");
Drawable drawable = res.getDrawable(resId);

And, in your drawable dir you will have a MY_IMAGE.png o what else.
