Setting up mipmap images on ImageButton from xml array in Kotlin?

Question

So I have an array defined in a xml values containing @mipmap icons. I am trying to get the icon int values from them and set them up on an ImageButton. But whenever I try to get the int value from them, I get 0 if I make it an 'integer-array' or Resources$NotFoundException if it is just an 'array'. Any solution?

mainActivity.kt

private fun setImage() {
    val iconArray = resources.getIntArray(R.array.transaction_icon_array)
    val imageView: ImageView = findViewById(R.id.image_icon)
    imageView.setImageResource(resources.getInteger(iconArray[0]))
    Log.d("ABID", imageView.tag.toString())
}

transaction_icon_array.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <integer-array name="transaction_icon_array">

You case use TypedArray instated of using getIntArray

val typedArr = getResources().obtainTypedArray(R.array.transaction_icon_array);

//getResourceId(int index, int defValue)
typedArr.getResourceId(index, -1) // You can get resource ID by index

imageView.setImageResource(imgs.getResourceId(index, -1)); // set mipmap to your ImageView
