Here is the mipmap version of the copy/paste for those who want to save at least 15 seconds

if (mIcon.equals("clear-day")) { iconId = R.mipmap.clear_day; } else if (mIcon.equals("clear-night")) { iconId = R.mipmap.clear_night; } else if (mIcon.equals("rain")) { iconId = R.mipmap.rain; } else if (mIcon.equals("snow")) { iconId = R.mipmap.snow; } else if (mIcon.equals("sleet")) { iconId = R.mipmap.sleet; } else if (mIcon.equals("wind")) { iconId = R.mipmap.wind; } else if (mIcon.equals("fog")) { iconId = R.mipmap.fog; } else if (mIcon.equals("cloudy")) { iconId = R.mipmap.cloudy; } else if (mIcon.equals("partly-cloudy-day")) { iconId = R.mipmap.partly_cloudy; } else if (mIcon.equals("partly-cloudy-night")) { iconId = R.mipmap.cloudy_night; }

Actually, you want to put those "icons" in the drawables folder still. The mipmaps folder is more for out of app icons like the launcher icon, and notification icon, while things drawn to the screen inside the app are still drawables.
