Hi.

The getDrawable is not really deprcated and this is only from api 22. It has just changed a little. Instead of getDrawable(int, id) you will now have to use getDrawable(int, theme). For further reference you can look in the android developer resources. here is documentation for the old getDrawable: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/res/Resources.html

here is documentation for new getDrawable api 22 and above: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/res/Resources.html#getDrawable(int, android.content.res.Resources.Theme)

here is a little bit from stackoverflow if you need a little reference: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29041027/android-getresources-getdrawable-deprecated-api-22

and here is two links to descusions on the treehouse forums about: https://teamtreehouse.com/community/deprecated-getresourcesgetdrawablein-id https://teamtreehouse.com/community/getdrawableint-id-is-deprecated-in-api-22

I hope this will help you. :)
