Answer 1

You could try something like this.

Example if trying to get employee 1526 the drawable would be R.drawable.1526

String id = employee.getId(); //1526
int imageId = context.getResources()
                     .getIdentifier(id, "drawable", context.getPackageName());

id being a string. then with the image view

imageView.setImageResource(imageId);
