I'm totally new to this, been tinkering around for a week.

Came up with a simple image viewer app for 2 images.

Feature: Left and right swipes will switch the images. Dead simple.

What i'd like to do: Have up to 100 images.

note: All my images are in my res/drawable folder.
They're named image1.png to image100.png

I obviously don't want to do:

    ImageView i = new ImageView(this);
    i.setImageResource(R.drawable.image1);
    viewFlipper.addView(i);
    ImageView i2 = new ImageView(this);
    i2.setImageResource(R.drawable.image2);
    viewFlipper.addView(i2);
    ImageView i3 = new ImageView(this);
    i3.setImageResource(R.drawable.image3);
    viewFlipper.addView(i3);

all the way to i100.

how do I make this into a loop, which is flexible and reads everything from the drawable folder ( and not be limited to 100 images)?

    public class ImageViewTest extends Activity {
        private static final String LOGID = "CHECKTHISOUT";

        private static final int SWIPE_MIN_DISTANCE = 120;

        private static final int SWIPE_THRESHOLD_VELOCITY = 200;

        String message = "Initial Message";

            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

            //Set up viewflipper

            i.setImageResource(R.drawable.sample_1);
            ImageView i2 = new ImageView(this);
            i2.setImageResource(R.drawable.sample_2);
