Why Getdrawable() Doesn't Work On Some Android Devices?

I am getting 'nosuchmethod error' on some user's phones (eg. Motorola Razr i) but it works fine on my HTC. Below is the code. Drawable rBlack; rBlack = getResources().getDrawable(R

Solution 1:

I'm going to bet it is failing on getDrawable(R.drawable.rblack, getTheme()); which was added in API 21. Change that line to:

if(android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21){
    rBlack = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.rblack, getTheme());
} else {
    rBlack = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.rblack);
}

Solution 2:

ContextCompat.getDrawable(Context context, intid)

Solution 3:

Try adding the following line of code:

context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.your_image_name);
