I need to find alternative for deprecated getDrawable() method...

the compiler doesn't like the following code: Drawable drawable = getResources().getDrawable(int id, Resources.android.content.res.Resources.Theme theme);

What's an alternative method I can use?

compiler output: StoryActivity.java:67: error: '.class' expected Drawable drawable = getResources().getDrawable(int id, Resources.android.content.res.Resources.Theme theme); ^

thanks in advance, Martin

Thank you Kourosh,

With your help, I got to this solution:

Drawable drawable = null; if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) { drawable = getResources().getDrawable(page.getImageId(),null); }
