spinner - Android Storing Drawable In Array -

i'm trying access , use image in place of text in spinner i'm using. below code works, if use text instead of drawables.

i referenced question: storing r.drawable ids in xml array

hoping fix problem, unable figure out going wrong. seem continuously get:

error: no resource found matches given name (at '^index_1' value '@drawable/ic_launcher.png')   

etc, each image. each drawable exists , in appropriate spot, code apparently beyond understanding.

<string-array name="rating_array">         <item>n/a</item>         <item>@drawable/ic_launcher.png</item>         <item>@drawable/smile.png</item>         <item>@drawable/stale.png</item>         <item>@drawable/sad.png</item>         <item>@drawable/angry.png</item>     </string-array> 

[edit]

i have rid myself of .png extensions. i'm still receiving same error, however. additional suggestions?

also getting:

i got rid of errors, i'm getting:

\res\layout\activity_main.xml:12: error: error: no resource found matches given name (at 'contentdescription' value '@string/rate_main'). \res\layout\activity_main.xml:28: error: error: no resource found matches given name (at 'entries' value '@array/category_array'). \res\layout\activity_main.xml:36: error: error: no resource found matches given name (at 'entries' value '@array/rating_array'). res\layout\activity_main.xml:46: error: error: no resource found matches given name (at 'entries' value '@array/descriptor_array'). res\menu\main.xml:3: error: error: no resource found matches given name (at 'title' value '@string/action_settings').

as errors, when remove these list files, have no issue. also, reason it's saying it's affecting other arrays "rating_array" 1 that's not standard text list.

code in it's entirety concerning this:

string.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources>      <string-array name="rating_array">         <item>n/a</item>      </string-array>      <string-array name="descriptor_array">         <item>n/a</item>         <item>price</item>         <item>service</item>     </string-array>      <string-array name="category_array">         <item>n/a</item>         <item>restaurants</item>         <item>hotels</item>         <item>theater</item>         <item>shopping</item>     </string-array>        <string name="app_name">w!nk</string>     <string name="action_settings">settings</string>        <string name="rate_main">rate</string>   </resources> 

mainactivity.java

import android.app.activity; import android.os.bundle; import android.view.menu; import android.widget.spinner;  public class mainactivity extends activity {      private spinner spinbutton1, spinbutton2, spinbutton3;          @override     protected void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate) {                 super.oncreate(savedinstancestate);         setcontentview(r.layout.activity_main);         }      public void addlisteneronspinneritemselection(){         spinbutton1 = (spinner) findviewbyid(r.id.spinbutton1);             spinbutton1.setonitemselectedlistener(new customonitemselectedlistener());         spinbutton2 = (spinner) findviewbyid(r.id.spinbutton2);             spinbutton2.setonitemselectedlistener(new customonitemselectedlistener());         spinbutton3 = (spinner) findviewbyid(r.id.spinbutton3);             spinbutton3.setonitemselectedlistener(new customonitemselectedlistener());     }      @override     public boolean oncreateoptionsmenu(menu menu) {         // inflate menu; adds items action bar if present.         getmenuinflater().inflate(r.menu.main, menu);         return true;     }     } 

as in error :

error: no resource found matches given name (at '^index_1' value '@drawable/ic_launcher.png')

because passing drawable image extension(.png) drawable names in string-array. need remove file extensions(.png) drawable names using in string-arraychange as:

<string-array name="rating_array">         <item>n/a</item>         <item>@drawable/ic_launcher</item>         <item>@drawable/smile</item>         <item>@drawable/stale</item>         <item>@drawable/sad</item>         <item>@drawable/angry</item>     </string-array>
