I am working on an a simple android application that stores objects in an array, and displays them to the user via a listview. Each object contains a photo and a single text field. For demonstration purposes, I would like to pre-populate this array with some hardcoded objects.
The trouble is that the images are typically acquired through the camera interface, and each object only stores the path to that image. I can add the hardcoded images as drawables, but then they don't have a file path. I could when the app is initialized, convert the drawables to bitmaps and save the bitmaps to the SD card, but that seems too complicated to be the correct answer...
Any ideas on the best way to get these images into file storage so that I refer to them via their URIs?
Thanks!
