From API 21  getDrawable int id   is deprecated So now you need to use ResourcesCompat getDrawable context getResources    R drawable img user  null   But Best way to do is   -  You should create one common class for getting drawable and colors because if in future have any deprecation then you no need to do changes everywhere in your project You just change in this method  object ResourceUtils       fun getColor context  Context  color  Int   Int           return ResourcesCompat getColor context getResources    color  null             fun getDrawable context  Context  drawable  Int   Drawable            return ResourcesCompat getDrawable context getResources    drawable  null           use this method like   Drawable img ResourceUtils getDrawable context  R drawable img user  image setImageDrawable img

As of API 21  you should use the getDrawable int  Theme  method instead of getDrawable int   as it allows you to fetch a drawable object associated with a particular resource ID for the given screen density theme  Calling the deprecated getDrawable int  method is equivalent to calling getDrawable int  null    You should use the following code from the support library instead   ContextCompat getDrawable context  android R drawable ic dialog email    Using this method is equivalent to calling   if  Build VERSION SDK INT  gt   Build VERSION CODES LOLLIPOP        return resources getDrawable id  context getTheme       else       return resources getDrawable id
