getDrawable(int id) is deprecated. How can I set an image?

Have a question! getDrawable() is deprecated in API 22. So, if I make an app with the min API 16, how can I set an image?

I saw that I can use getDrawable(int id, theme) , but this was added in API 21, so I can't use it.

I've tried setImageDrawable(ResourcesCompat.getDrawable(getResources(), R.drawable.drawableName, null)) but this doesn't work either. Also with ContextCompat or getApplicationContext() it doesn't work.

private ImageView weatherIcon;
weatherIcon=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.weatherIcon);
if(weatherReportList.size()>0){
            DailyWeatherReport report=weatherReportList.get(0);
            switch (report.getWeather()){
                case DailyWeatherReport.WEATHER_TYPE_CLOUDS:
                    weatherIcon.setImageDrawable(ResourcesCompat.getDrawable(getResources(), R.drawable.cloudy, null));
                    weatherIconMini.setImageDrawable(ResourcesCompat.getDrawable(getResources(), R.drawable.cloudy, null));
                case DailyWeatherReport.WEATHER_TYPE_RAIN:
                    weatherIcon.setImageDrawable(ContextCompat.getDrawable(this,R.drawable.rainy));
                    weatherIconMini.setImageDrawable(ResourcesCompat.getDrawable(getResources(), R.drawable.rainy, null));

                default:
                    weatherIcon.setImageDrawable(ResourcesCompat.getDrawable(getResources(), R.drawable.sunny, null));
                    weatherIconMini.setImageDrawable(ResourcesCompat.getDrawable(getResources(), R.drawable.sunny, null));


            }

This is not a duplicate of that post. I've tried all the methods from there but none on them worked.

It seems that my project has a bug, but I can't identify it. If I try on other projects, it works with any of the answers above.

you can use

yourImageView.setImageDrawable(ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, /*your drawable like R.drawable.drawableName*/));

You can try this way,

 if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
    return context.getResources().getDrawable(resource);
} else {
    return context.getResources().getDrawable(resource, null);
}

may helps you
