setBackgroundDrawable in android

I want to set background drawable of a imagebutton. There are two methods for this (as far as I see): setBackground and setBackgroundDrawable. I am using setBackground, it says it has been added in API level 16 but my project's min SDK version is 7. For this i am using setBackgroundDrawable, but its is not changing the drawable at run time in api lower then 16?This is my code snippet

@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN)
@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")

private void setVariable() {
        try {

        //change the bg for save button
        int sdk = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
        if(sdk < android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
        //register.setBackground(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.btn_save));
                register.setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.btnsave));
            }else{
                register.setBackground(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.btn_save));
            }
            //register.setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.btn_save));
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // TODO: handle exception
    }
}

What am I supposed to use ?

You are mistaking while writing resource id of drawable.
You're using R.id.btnsave instead of *'R.drawable.btn_save'*
Otherwise, your code is absolutely right!

Use register.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.btn_save);.

public void setBackgroundResource (int resid) is available from API Level 1.
