Android.Content.Res.Resources.GetIdentifier Method
Return a resource identifier for the given resource name.

Syntax

[Android.Runtime.Register("getIdentifier", "(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)I", "GetGetIdentifier_Ljava_lang_String_Ljava_lang_String_Ljava_lang_String_Handler")]
public virtual int GetIdentifier (string name, string defType, string defPackage)

Parameters

name
The name of the desired resource.
defType
Optional default resource type to find, if "type/" is not included in the name. Can be null to require an explicit type.
defPackage
Optional default package to find, if "package:" is not included in the name. Can be null to require an explicit package.

Returns

Documentation for this section has not yet been entered.

Remarks

Return a resource identifier for the given resource name. A fully qualified resource name is of the form "package:type/entry". The first two components (package and type) are optional if defType and defPackage, respectively, are specified here.

Note: use of this function is discouraged. It is much more efficient to retrieve resources by identifier than by name.
