I m using a minSdkVersion 16 and targetSdkVersion 23  The following is working for me  it uses     ContextCompat getDrawable context  R drawable drawable     Instead of using       layout setBackgroundResource R drawable ready     Rather use   layout setBackground ContextCompat getDrawable this  R drawable ready      getActivity   is used in a fragment  if calling from a activity use this

layout setBackgroundResource R drawable ready   is correct  Another way to achieve it is to use the following   final int sdk   android os Build VERSION SDK INT  if sdk  lt  android os Build VERSION CODES JELLY BEAN        layout setBackgroundDrawable ContextCompat getDrawable context  R drawable ready       else       layout setBackground ContextCompat getDrawable context  R drawable ready        But I think the problem occur because you are trying to load big images  Here is a good tutorial how to load large bitmaps   UPDATE  getDrawable int   deprecated in API level 22  getDrawable int   is now deprecated in API level 22  You should use the following code from the support library instead   ContextCompat getDrawable context  R drawable ready    If you refer to the source code of ContextCompat getDrawable  it gives you something like this          Return a drawable object associated with a particular resource ID      lt p gt     Starting in   link android os Build VERSION CODES LOLLIPOP   the returned    drawable will be styled for the specified Context s theme         param id The desired resource identifier  as generated by the aapt tool                This integer encodes the package  type  and resource entry                The value 0 is an invalid identifier      return Drawable An object that can be used to draw this resource      public static final Drawable getDrawable Context context  int id        final int version   Build VERSION SDK INT      if  version  gt   21            return ContextCompatApi21 getDrawable context  id         else           return context getResources   getDrawable id             More details on ContextCompat   As of API 22  you should use the getDrawable int  Theme  method instead of getDrawable int    UPDATE  If you are using the support v4 library  the following will be enough for all versions   ContextCompat getDrawable context  R drawable ready    You will need to add the following in your app build gradle  compile  com android support support-v4 23 0 0    or any version above   Or using ResourceCompat  in any API like below     import android support v4 content res ResourcesCompat  ResourcesCompat getDrawable getResources    R drawable name of drawable  null
