Question

I’m using this code to get a drawable and use in a SetCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds call:

Drawable d = Resources.System.GetDrawable(Resource.Drawable.navigable_icon);
textView.SetCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(null,null,d,null);

The problem is that when calling the GetDrawable method I allways get an exception stating:

Android.Content.Res.Resources+NotFoundException: Resource ID
0x7f020009

The drawable exist as any other I use in xml in the drawable directory. Could anybody guess what’s hapenning?

Answer 1

Where are you calling this from?

As far as I can see the Resources class does not have a System property, and intellisense tells me that this is the way to get a Drawable:

var drawable = Resources.GetDrawable(Resource.Drawable.navigable_icon);
textView.SetCompoundDrawablesWithInstrinsicBounds(null,null,drawable,null);
