How to convert int to drawable?

Question

I have created a dialog with list of icons, i.e drawables. I have created a grid view to show these icons.

Now I want to get the selected icon and set it to an image view in my activity.

So how can I convert this into drawable so that I can set the selected icon on my activity's image view?

dialog code:

 private void showAlertDialog() {

        GridView gridView = new GridView(this);

        gridView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
        gridView.setPadding(0,20,0,20);


        int[] mThumbIds = {
                R.drawable.roundicons05,R.drawable.roundicons08,R.drawable.roundicons02,R.drawable.roundicons03,R.drawable.roundicons04,
                R.drawable.roundicons16,R.drawable.roundicons37,R.drawable.roundicons06,R.drawable.roundicons07,R.drawable.roundicons05,
                R.drawable.roundicons09,R.drawable.roundicons10,R.drawable.roundicons11,R.drawable.roundicons12,R.drawable.roundicons13,
                R.drawable.roundicons14,R.drawable.roundicons15,R.drawable.roundicons16,R.drawable.roundicons17,R.drawable.roundicons18,
                R.drawable.roundicons19,R.drawable.roundicons20,R.drawable.roundicons22,
        };

        gridView.setAdapter(new ImageAdapter(CheckListActivity.this,mThumbIds));
        gridView.setNumColumns(4);
        gridView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
                // do something here

             //   icon.setImageDrawable(id);
                imageId = position;
                Drawable drawable = getResources().getDrawable(imageId);
                icon.setImageDrawable(drawable);

            }
        });

        final MaterialDialog dialog = new MaterialDialog.Builder(CheckListActivity.this)
                .customView(gridView, false)
                .title("Select Icon")
                .negativeText("CANCEL")
                .canceledOnTouchOutside(true)
                .build();

        dialog.show();


    }

I tried like this

  imageId = position;
  Drawable drawable = getResources().getDrawable(imageId);
  icon.setImageDrawable(drawable);

but this throws no resource found exception.

Thank you..

instead of using position as ResourceID (it is not), rather get an item of the mThumbIds array at the positions. So your code should look like this:

public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
    // do something here
    imageId = mThumbIds[position];
    Drawable drawable = getResources().getDrawable(imageId);
    icon.setImageDrawable(drawable);

 }

I hope this helps.
