You can not save the images downloaded by your application to the res/drawable/ folder because it is intended to save images available to the application at design time, that is, before it is compiled. You'll need to download them from somewhere and save them to your device's file system, either in the internal memory or on the SD card. Also, making your application connect directly to a remote database to get data is not recommended, it is best to leave that connection in charge of a webservice (REST for example) that will make that data available to the application through a URL .
