String icon

Hi!

I would like to put an icon into a String:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

public String toString() {
 
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm");
 
    String dateString = sdf.format(date);
 
    return "Icon: " + android.R.id.icon + " " + dateString;
 
  }
Parsed in 0.031 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

But I get the "number" of the icon, not the image:

Icon: 16908294 13:43

Can somebody show me how to do it?
Many thanks!

What did you mean with "putting an image into a string"?

To get a bitmap from your icon, you can try this:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.icon)
Parsed in 0.030 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

in your Activity class....
