NoSuchMethodError on certain OS versions

I’m not sure why I’m getting this error only on certain Android versions (below 5.0).

I’m calling:

myImageView.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.image, null));

Because of this I’m getting a NoSuchMethodError.
What to do?

Solution

  • Use this

    myImageView.setImageDrawable(ContextCompat.getDrawable(this,R.drawable.image));

    Instead of this

    myImageView.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.image, null));

    EDIT

    when you use setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.image, null)); this it will shows below error

    enter image description here

    NOTE setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.image, null)); this method is added in API level 21
