Question

I have a view which has a method setBackgroundImage(BitmapDrawable) and I have an image imgbg in drawable folder in res.

How do I set this image as background image?

view.setBackgroundImage(R.drawable.imgbg); doesn’t work as R.drawable.imgbg is an integer but method requires drawable.

I know it’s silly thing but I’m not able sort it out even after intensive googling.

Any help appreciated.

Edit

This code snippet doesn’t belong to Activity class so I don’t have context object or getResources() or getApplicationContext()…

Edit 2 (Solution):

public class PieChartDemo01View extends View 
{
public PieChartDemo01View(Context context) 
{
    super(context);
    Drawable drawable = super.getResources().getDrawable(
        R.drawable.bg2);
    BitmapDrawable bitmapDrawable = (BitmapDrawable) drawable;

}
}

Answer 1

Simple First get drawable then set cast in bitmapDrawable.

Drawable drawable=getApplicationContext().getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.imgbg);
            BitmapDrawable bitmapDrawable=(BitmapDrawable) drawable;

Just Do it Dear It`s work.
