How to get Resource Name from Resource id

Question

In my layout I have defined something like this . ``` <RadioButton android:id="@+id/radio1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Dnt want this text" /> ``` Assume that some function in activity returns me this id (id of radioButton). Now i want to get this text radio1 from this id. In short I want to retrieve text radio1 written in `android:id="@+id/radio1"` Can somebody tell me how is it possible ?

Accepted Answer

In your Activity, try these:

to get string like `radio1`:

```
getResources().getResourceEntryName(int resid);
```

to get string like `com.sample.app:id/radio1`:

```
getResources().getResourceName(int resid);
```

In Kotlin Now :

```
val name = v.context.resources.getResourceEntryName(v.id)
```
