For my "memory" game, I'm using a GridView to display 12 cards.
At the beginning, the cards are all the same.

In all the examples I found, you see something similar to this code to add the picture ids to your ImageAdapter:

 private Integer[] mThumbIds = {     
        R.drawable.card_back, R.drawable.card_back,
        R.drawable.card_back, R.drawable.card_back,
        R.drawable.card_back, R.drawable.card_back,
        R.drawable.card_back, R.drawable.card_back,
        R.drawable.card_back, R.drawable.card_back,
        R.drawable.card_back, R.drawable.card_back
    };

Is there a shorter,cleaner, nicer way? something like this:

private Integer[] mThumbIds = new Integer[11];
Arrays.fill(mThumbIds, R.drawable.card_back);

full class:

import android.content.Context;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.BaseAdapter;
import android.widget.GridView;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import java.util.Arrays;

public class ImageAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
    private Context mContext;

    public ImageAdapter(Context c) {
        mContext = c;
    }

    public int getCount() {
        return mThumbIds.length;
    }

    public Object getItem(int position) {
        return null;
    }

    public long getItemId(int position) {
        return 0;
    }

    // create a new ImageView for each item referenced by the Adapter
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        ImageView imageView;
        if (convertView == null) {
            // if it's not recycled, initialize some attributes
            imageView = new ImageView(mContext);
            imageView.setLayoutParams(new GridView.LayoutParams(150, 150));
            imageView.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.FIT_CENTER);
            imageView.setPadding(8, 8, 8, 8);
        } else {
            imageView = (ImageView) convertView;
        }

        imageView.setImageResource(mThumbIds[position]);
        return imageView;
    }

    // references to our images

    Integer[] mThumbIds = new Integer[11];
    Arrays.fill(mThumbIds, R.drawable.card_back);


       /*   R.drawable.card_back, R.drawable.card_back,
            R.drawable.card_back, R.drawable.card_back,
            R.drawable.card_back, R.drawable.card_back,
            R.drawable.card_back, R.drawable.card_back,
            R.drawable.card_back, R.drawable.card_back,
            R.drawable.card_back, R.drawable.card_back
    };*/
