setBackgroundDrawable() deprecated
AndroidDeprecatedDeprecation WarningAndroid Problem Overview
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:
int sdk = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
if(sdk < android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
layout.setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.img_wstat_tstorm));
} else {
layout.setBackground(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.img_wstat_tstorm));
}
But then, I get an error at "setBackground()".
So, how would you deal with it?

It's an interesting topic. The way you are doing it is correct, apparently. It is actually just a naming decision change. As this answer points out, setBackground()
just calls setBackgroundDrawable()
:
public void setBackground(Drawable background) {
//noinspection deprecation
setBackgroundDrawable(background);
}
@Deprecated
public void setBackgroundDrawable(Drawable background) { ... }
You can see this thread for more information about all of this.
Solution 2 - Android
maybe you can try the following:
setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.img_wstat_tstorm);
Solution 3 - Android
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);
}

Use the support libraries
Drawable drawable = ResourcesCompat.getDrawable(getResources(), drawableRes, null);
ViewCompat.setBackground(layout, drawable);
Solution 5 - Android
You are getting an error because getResources().getDrawable() takes an id (int) not a drawable as its argument. Try this:
layout.setBackground(getResources().getDrawable(R.id.img_wstat_tstorm));
Solution 6 - Android
//Java
view.setBackground(ActivityCompat.getDrawable(context, R.drawable.bg))
//Kotlin
view.background = ActivityCompat.getDrawable(context, R.drawable.bg)
Solution 7 - Android
Use this:
myView.background = ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, R.id.my_drawable)
Solution 8 - Android
This is correct in my case Solve this problem
imageView.setBackgroundResource(images[productItem.getPosition()]);

Kotlin:
view.background = resources.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_image,theme)
If you include the Theme parameter.
Solution 10 - Android
I'm using a minSdkVersion 16 and targetSdkVersion 23 The following is working for me, it uses ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, R.drawable.drawable);
Instead of using: layout.setBackground(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.img_wstat_tstorm));
Rather use:
layout.setBackground(ContextCompat.getDrawable(getActivity(), R.drawable.img_wstat_tstorm));
getActivity()
is used in a fragment, if calling from a activity use this
Solution 11 - Android
BitmapDrawable background = new BitmapDrawable(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.mipmap.Nome_imgem));
getSupportActionBar().setBackgroundDrawable(background);
