Cannot resolve symbol BitmapFactory.decodeResource in IntelliJ

I try to use method decodeResource from class BitmapFactory in my Activity like this:

Bitmap image = new BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.my_image);

I made all necessary imports, IntelliJ even completes method for me as I am type it but as I try to compile it gives me error:

java: cannot find symbol

symbol:   class decodeResource 

location: class android.graphics.BitmapFactory
Solution

  • Remove new, because decodeResource is static method,

    Use like this

    Bitmap image = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.my_image);
