Parse xml and call the function given below

// imagePath - value of <thumb_url>@drawable/chat.png</thumb_url>
// imageView - view where image needs to be set
private void setImage(String imagePath,ImageView imageView)
{  

 String uriFromXML = imagePath;
 String suffix = ".png";
if ((uriFromXML != null) && (uriFromXML.startsWith("@")) && (uriFromXML.endsWith(suffix))) 
{
  int length = uriFromXML.length();
  int suffixLength = suffix.length();
  String uri = uriFromXML.substring(1, length - suffixLength);



  int imageResource = getResources().getIdentifier(uri, null,getPackageName());

  Drawable image = getResources().getDrawable(imageResource);
  imageView.setImageDrawable(image);
}
}

Try this, in Xml

<music>
<song>
    <title>Live Shows</title>
    <thumb_url>chat</thumb_url>
</song>
<song>
    <title>Space Bound</title>
    <thumb_url>email_open</thumb_url>
</song>

and in activity,

int redId = getResources().getIdentifier("<your_package>:drawable/<resource_name>", null, null);
imageView.setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(resId));

where would be something like com.example.package and <resource_name> would be filled by thumb_url from your xml.

Okay, I presume you are using the androidhive tut. In the lazy adapter class change this code imageLoader.DisplayImage(song.get(CustomizedListView.KEY_THUMB_URL), thumb_image); to thumb_image.setImageResource(song.get(CustomizedListView.KEY_THUMB_URL));

okay but can you give the example or tell me how to give path of image in XML so i will get the image directly in the image view

@SquiredSquire I tried your code but it given error The method setImageResource(int) in the type ImageView is not applicable for the arguments (String).

@NishitPatel change the xml so it is displayed as file:///android_asset/chat.png and change to line to imageLoader.DisplayImage(song.get(CustomizedListView.KEY_THUMB_URL), thumb_image); and move all images to assets folder
