Workaround for setBackgroundDrawable on android?

The setBackgroundDrawable() method of the View class in is now deprecated in android SDK API level 16.

The new method is setBackground() but of course it's only available in API 16.

How can I workaround it if I want my application to be compatible with previous API levels ? (at least API 14)

The goal is to eliminate any warnings and an @SupressWarnings is not a solution for me.

Setting bitmap to ImageView.

ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageSlice4); imageSlice4.setBackground(new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), slicedImagesArrayList.get(3)));

The usual way is this one:

if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 16)
  setBackground(...);
else
  setBackgroundDrawable(...);

On the other hand you could use reflections:

try {
  Method setBackground = View.class.getMethod("setBackground", Drawable.class);
  setBackground.invoke(myView, myDrawable);
} catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
  setBackgroundDrawable(myDrawable);
}

IMO a warning is better than having to catch an exception and an unnecessary reflection.

You can use

viewobj.setBackgroundResource(drawble_object);
