Android getResources().getDrawable() deprecated API 22

Question

With new android API 22 getResources().getDrawable() is now deprecated. Now the best approach is to use only getDrawable().

What changed? <

Answer 1

getResources().getDrawable() was deprecated in API level 22. Now we must add the theme:

getDrawable (int id, Resources.Theme theme) (Added in API level 21)

This is an example:

myImgView.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.myimage, getApplicationContext().getTheme()));

This is an example how to validate for later versions:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) { //>= API 21
     myImgView.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.myimage, getApplicationContext().getTheme()));
   } else { 
     myImgView.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.myimage));
}
