    Drawable drawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, mCurrentWeather.getIconId());
    mIconImageView.setImageDrawable(drawable);

mods can you add this to the teachers notes? source https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/content/ContextCompat.html http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29041027/android-getresources-getdrawable-deprecated-api-22

Hello Benjamin,

Thank you for the solution. Just out of curiosity, can you please tell me the way (maybe the process) you find these solutions? I mean, do you just type the correct questions on web and get the desired answers or finding it on your own by hit and trial method in Android Studio?

Regards, Paritosh.
