Thank you for this, it gives me a possible solution. Unfortunately getDrawable will only take an integer as an input, which really defeats the simplicity of solution I'm looking for. I can set about assigning integers to each team, but I'm not sure that would even do it because I'm not sure about the nature of the integer it wants. Here is the description I see in Eclipse:
"The desired resource identifier, as generated by the aapt tool. This integer encodes the package, type, and resource entry. The value 0 is an invalid identifier." Unfortunately I don't understand that. I'm relatively new to android and java. Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
