I have to show a drawable from res into an ImageView. In this app, I'm using Picasso for some reasons.

In this case, I need to load the drawable using its URI and not its id. To do that, here is my code:

uri = Uri.parse(ContentResolver.SCHEME_ANDROID_RESOURCE + "://"+context.getPackageName()+"/drawable/" + drawableName);

where drawableName used here are file names rather than their resource ids.

Then

Picasso.with(context).load(uri).into(imageView);

I know for sure that drawable name is correct, but Picasso seems it does not like this uri.

If the images is in your drawable folder then you can just load it.

Picasso.with(context).load(R.drawable.drawableName).into(imageView);

and picasso will load it no need for an Uri.
