Programatically setting a random image to an ImageButton?

Your problem is that you are misunderstanding how Android uses resource ids. The R file holds int ids that map to resources contained in your app. You are trying to reference a drawable resource by casting its String reference into an int .

That is impossible and doesn't make sense.

If you want to get the id of a resource you should use something like this.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
