I am working on an app using the FunFacts app as a template. How would I assign pictures to facts?

I have added an imagebook just like factbook and am using that to hold the images in an array so they can be called in the on click method so how would I take one of those images and set it up to appear when a certain fact does? I cant upload my work I have tried and t wouldn't let me.

Hi Dalton,

Are the images currently in your app in the Drawable folders?

If so, you can create a field in your ImageBook class that references an image and sets it as the resource for an ImageView.

ImageBook[] mImages = .....;

mImageBook = mImages[2];
mImageView.setImageResource(mImageBook.getImage());

I have images and they show up on the app but i want to set certain images to certain fact like "Cherokee village is a town in arkansas." I want to have a picture of the sign only show up with this fact.

Hi Jon & Dalton,

I'd like to do the exact same thing: Add a picture to appear with each fact in the FunFacts app. I'm not sure what you mean by Drawables folder or the imagebook class. Is there a good tutorial somewhere? Or has someone else already done this? Thank you.
