For non-themed drawables use this instead:

ResourcesCompat.getDrawable(getResources(), page.getImageId(), null);

not working, not sure why.

private void loadPage(int choice) {
        mCurrentPage = mStory.getPage(choice);
        Drawable drawable =  ResourcesCompat.getDrawable(getResources(), mCurrentPage.getImageId(), null);
        mImageView.setImageDrawable(drawable);
        // ..... 
}

Try this

Drawable mDrawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, mPage.getImageId());

the instructions do not say call the member variable when setting mImageView.setImageDrawable(drawable)); very close though. This works for me Drawable drawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, page.getImageID());
