Using getDrawable(int id)

Kindly assist on the weather up setting views-with-data. Challenge tast 2 of 2.

Now let's set the image using the Movie method that gets the appropriate ID. Note: getDrawable(int id) was deprecated in API 22, but it's ok to use it here.

This works: Drawable drawable = getResources().getDrawable(movie.getImageId()); mMovieImage.setImageDrawable(drawable);

Hello,

The challenge is likely still setup to be referencing the older APIs where getDrawable wasn't deprecated.

If you are coding something to include the more modern APIs, you can use ContextCompat.getDrawable(Context, int) where you supply your current Context(likely the Activity you are in), and the id of the drawable you are wanting to reference.
