how to access the drawable resources by name in android

by

Note that your approach is almost always the wrong way to do things (better to pass the context into the object itself that is using the drawable than keeping a static Context somewhere).

Given that, if you want to do dynamic drawable loading, you can use getIdentifier:

Resources resources = context.getResources();
final int resourceId = resources.getIdentifier(name, "drawable", 
   context.getPackageName());
return resources.getDrawable(resourceId);
