Resources$NotFoundException: Resource is not a Drawable (color or path)?

I have a textview, when it is clicked, I am populating a listView inside a dialog. This code used to work fine, but today it is throwing exception.

this is my code:

tvSelectedFont = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.lblQuoteSelectedFont);
    tvSelectedFont.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {

            ListView listView = new ListView(context);
            listView.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(context, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,
                    new String[] {"Default", "Serif", "Monospace"}));
            final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(context);
            dialog.setContentView(listView);
            dialog.setTitle(R.string.txt_settings_QuotefontName);

            listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
                    String selectedTypeFace = ((TextView)view).getText().toString();
                    tvSelectedFont.setText(selectedTypeFace);
                    switch(selectedTypeFace)
                    {
                        case "Serif":
                            selectedQuoteTypeFace = Typeface.SERIF;
                            break;
                        case "Monospace":
                            selectedQuoteTypeFace = Typeface.MONOSPACE;
                            break;
                        default:
                            selectedQuoteTypeFace = Typeface.DEFAULT;
                            break;
                    }
                    tvQuoteTextSample.setTypeface(selectedQuoteTypeFace, selectedQuoteFontStyle);
                    dialog.dismiss();
                }
            });

            dialog.show();
        }
    });

The logcat error shows this:

Cant figure it out the problem. Any help please?

I encountered this problem in the recent app I made. In my case, the problem was I put an image in the folder called drawable-v21, which is not available in older android API.

The solution is to put your drawable in drawable-...dpi folders too.

Hope that helps.

In Android Studio change Project hierarchy to Project Files.

Then go to the res folder, you will see multiple drawable folders. Copy the images to appropriate folder(drawable) or based on Api level.

In my case image was present in drawable-24 folder therefore it was not available on api<24 devices.

On the Mac in finder, I just simply moved all the files in the folder ../drawable/drawable-24 to /drawable and everything worked both on older android versions and Oreo. Also when you copy and paste the images into Android Studio make sure to paste them into drawable not drawable//drawable-24 which may be the default.

I figured it out, it was not an issue with the code, but the theme. I recently changed the theme from android:theme="@style/AppTheme"to android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar" after that the problem started. I reverted back the old AppTheme thene it started working again. It seems that the NoActionBar theme was not compatible for dialog boxes.

I ran into this error in a different situation, and it turned out that I'd accidentally set a drawable to R.id.something instead of R.drawable.something!

Make sure you followed the above solutions, try this if non-of-them worked for you.

In my case, the problem was due to drawable icons in only hdpi image resolution. Change these icons to the folder, which contains xhdpi, mdpi, xxhdpi and xxxhdpi resolution also.

And that solved my problem.

PS:

I convert icons to different image resolution by installing plugin "Android drawable importer".

Maybe your view background resource not in drawable dir, in color. view background not support resource in color.

view background like this

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <item android:state_selected="true">
            <shape>
                <solid android:color="#ffffffff"/>
            </shape>
        </item>
        <item android:state_selected="false">
            <shape>
                <solid android:color="#00000000"/>
            </shape>
        </item>
    </selector>

You can get it working by making sure that your drawable.xml not included (v24)

<ImageView
...
            android:src="@drawable/realtconsult" />

If you will write it from a view then this will works.

There are more than one folder included in drawable folders(not visible), if you get these kind of error then please copy paste the file on which error occured to all the directories or atleast copy paste to night and normal drwable folder

enter image description here

When you put an image into the drawable folder, by default they are -v24 named at the end.

If you are not sure, just drag and drop the image again into the drawable folder. Make sure the name is not -v24 at the end.

Solution for old APIs

move all your ic_xyz.xml folders to drawable (v24) ie select your folder which is having this issue and move it to or select---> refactor--->move file-->(change the path) to Drawable(v24).
