Check if a file exists in the android resources - Android

Issue

I am trying to get a video from "android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/raw/video", and it reads it perfectly. How can I check if that file exists or is missing?

Solution

You can check like this .

int checkExistence = mContext.getResources().getIdentifier("FILENAME_WITHOUT_EXTENSION", "raw", mContext.getPackageName());

if ( checkExistence != 0 ) {  // the resouce exists...
result = true;
}
else {  // checkExistence == 0  // the resouce does NOT exist!!
result = false;
}
