How to set an imageView's image from a string?

if you have the image in the drawable folder you are going about this the wrong way.

try something like this

Resources res = getResources();
String mDrawableName = "logo_default";
int resID = res.getIdentifier(mDrawableName , "drawable", getPackageName());
Drawable drawable = res.getDrawable(resID );
icon.setImageDrawable(drawable );

Android Setting image from string

Correct :

  <ImageView  
          android:layout_width="wrap_content"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
          android:id="@+id/image1" 
          android:src="@drawable/no_image" />

Place this line in onCreate Method of your Activity :

ImageView lblPic = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image1);
int resID = getResources().getIdentifier(imagename, "drawable", getPackageName());
lblPic.setImageResource(resID);

    imgView.setImageResource(resourceId);

Java ImageView string as src

You can't have src as string in xml.

but you write your own code in your calling activity to set image source using string resourse.
for this you have to put your image file in asset , and you can refer below code

    ImageView view  = findViewById(R.id.imageLogo);
       AssetManager assetManager = getAssets();
        InputStream istr = null;
        try {
            //R.string.yourstring will be like "sample.png"
            istr = assetManager.open(getResources().getString(R.string.yourstring));
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(istr);
    view.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
