I’m not sure why I’m getting this error only on certain Android versions (below 5.0).
I’m calling:
myImageView.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.image, null)); Because of this I’m getting a NoSuchMethodError.
What to do?
- you can simple add your context in front of getDrawable() YOURCONTEXT.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.image, null)Vivek Barai– Vivek Barai2017-12-29 12:27:32 +00:00Commented Dec 29, 2017 at 12:27

Use this
myImageView.setImageDrawable(ContextCompat.getDrawable(this,R.drawable.image)); Instead of this
myImageView.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.image, null)); EDIT
when you use setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.image, null)); this it will shows below error
NOTE setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.image, null)); this method is added in API level 21
You can read more about ContextCompat
Use ContextCompat, it's helper class for accessing features in Context.
Using this class you can easily access the following resources,
- ImageDrawable
- String
- Colour
- ColorStateList
- CodeCacheDir
And many more...
Try by following way,
myImageView.setImageDrawable(ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, R.drawable.image));

@Prem answer is the right one. Just adding this to provide you with a tip.
In Android documentation there is an indication of which API level included each method. For example, the one you're using was introduced in Android 5.0 (API level 21).

You are calling getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.image, null) method which is added in API level 21
check Android docs
If you are using second parameter (theme) as a null
So try to use
getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.image); You can use following code for the same
myImageView.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.image));
