Remarks
Return a resource identifier for the given resource name. A fully qualified resource name is of the form "package:type/entry". The first two components (package and type) are optional if defType and defPackage, respectively, are specified here.
Note: use of this function is discouraged. It is much more efficient to retrieve resources by identifier than by name.
