setBackgroundDrawable() deprecated

Question

So my sdk goes from 15 to 21 and when I call setBackgroundDrawable(), Android Studio tells me that it\'s deprecated.

I thought of going around it using:

Answer 1

It's funny because that method is deprecated, but if you look at the Android Source Code you'll find this:

   /**
     * Set the background to a given Drawable, or remove the background. If the
     * background has padding, this View's padding is set to the background's
     * padding. However, when a background is removed, this View's padding isn't
     * touched. If setting the padding is desired, please use
     * {@link #setPadding(int, int, int, int)}.
     *
     * @param background The Drawable to use as the background, or null to remove the
     *        background
     */
    public void setBackground(Drawable background) {
        //noinspection deprecation
        setBackgroundDrawable(background);
    }
