setting image drawable from a class

Question

I'm trying to set an image from a non Activity class, the drawable name is saved in a string and comes from another methor but the problem is that getPackageName() gives me this error: "cannot resolve method 'getPackageName()'" and I have no idea what to do, here is my code:

String[] string = printArray(false, context);

image1.getResources().getIdentifier(string[0] , "drawable", getPackageName());
image2.getResources().getIdentifier(string[1] , "drawable", getPackageName());
image3.getResources().getIdentifier(string[2] , "drawable", getPackageName());

where does the drawable located?

That worked because it doesn't give an error but, it doesn't work when i try to do this: image1.setImageResource( image1.getResources().getIdentifier(string[0] , "drawable", image1.getContext().getPackageName()));

what is inside string[0] ?

The name of the image without the extension ofc

can you check that the result of image1.getResources().getIdentifier... returns something other than 0?
