drawable

I have a error when building with gradle that says, error: cannot find symbol variable [image_name] . I'm using ContextCompat.getDrawable(getActivity(), R.drawable.[image_name]) I have been googling all over until I found this method to get a drawable without using a deprecated method or setting my min sdk to 21. But now, gradle says it can't find a symbol variable. I have my image in the drawable folder. If you need anything, comment please. EDIT: res: drawable (images under here) drawable-hdpi ... My class: import [package_name].R; import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable; import android.os

I'm converting an old application from v1 to v2, and I'm having a problem with the color of my Marker icons. I have a basic, white icon, and It needs to be colorized. In v1, I did it this way : Drawable d = DrawableUtils.resizeImageToDrawable( MapViewFragment.mapviewActivity, Configuration.Display.getDrawableFix(i), Configuration.MapView.getWaypointIconWidth(), Configuration.MapView.getWaypointIconHeight()); d.setColorFilter(color, Mode.MULTIPLY); overlay = new MyFplnFixListItimizedOverlay(d); Since v2 Markers do not accept Drawables for their icons, I thought about converting the Drawable to

In a layout I use a button which I set its textColor to a drawable as follows : @drawble/text_color_drawable : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <!-- disabled state --> <item android:state_enabled="false" android:color="@color/disabled_text_color" /> <item android:color="@color/main_text_color"/> </selector> @color/main_text_color : <color name="main_text_color">#9797A3</color> But when I use this drawable called text_color_drawable as textColor : android:textColor="@drawable/text_color_drawable" I get an exception :

I have a button with text and a drawable on the left. Is there any way I can make that drawable scale to it's appropriate size (fill button's height) while keeping its aspect ratio? Relevant excerpt from my layout: <Button android:text="@string/add_fav" android:id="@+id/event_fav_button" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="40dp" android:drawableLeft="@drawable/star_yellow"/> You can resize an image on basis of the dimension of a Button, use getHeight() and getWidth() methods to get the size of the button and use following function to resize image for Button: Resizing a

I am in a situation where I have to use the drawable folder of my app form a non activity class. I tried using the parent activity with the following code: ParentActivity pa = new ParentActivity(); Drawable d = pa.getResources()..getDrawable(R.drawable.icon);` But this returns me a NulLPointerException . How can I achieve this? Pass the context object as a parameter to the constructor of the non Activity class. Then use that context object to get the Resources. Example public class MyClass { Context context; public MyClass(Context context) { this.context = context; } public void urMethod() {
