getImageId();

Hi, How are you doing, Im having trouble on getImageId(); because it shows red, then, the getDrawable is cross... there is error showed in Log Cat...

but if I click alt+enter on getImageId(); it showed Create Getter,Create Property and Create Method.

     private void loadPage() {

     Page page = mStory.getPage(0);

     Drawable drawable = getResources().getDrawable(page.getImageid());
     mImageView.setImageDrawable(drawable);

     String pageText = page.getText();
     //Add the name if placeholder included.  Wont add if no placeholder

     pageText = String.format(pageText, mName);
     mTextView.setText(pageText);

     mChoice1.setText(page.getChoice1().getText());
     mChoice2.setText(page.getChoice2().getText());

 }```

Hi James,

Yeah, it was typo. Hooray. How about getDrawable it keep getting crossed. It highlights 'getDrawable(int) is depcrecated'...

You're probably using API 22 then, in which the getDrawable(int) method was deprecated. Instead you could use ContextCompat from the support library.

ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, R.drawable.your_drawable);

where "this" is your context(likely your activity), and then R.drawable.your_drawable is the result of getImageId(). I'm not sure if this is the best way for this or not, but you might be able to get some more info from a stackoverflow posting here.

Hello,

It looks like you might have a typo in getImageid(). In the demo, they used getImageId(). I'd recommend double checking your casing both in this file and your Page.java file.
