Get the drawable used as a Checkbox image

Question

Whenever I have saved the image associated with a checkbox through the method imagem = minha_checkbox.getButtonDrawable(); always gives me a mistake called call requires API level 23 (current min is 17)

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

The method getButtonDrawable() was only introduced in the Checkbox(Compoundbutton) class in version 23 of the API.

Has two solutions:

• Changes the minimum version of the application to 23(android:minSdkVersion="23").

• Refers to the class Compoundbuttoncompat and uses its static method getButtonDrawable():

  imagem = CompoundButtonCompat.getButtonDrawable(minha_checkbox);
  

  _{Note: Requires Android Support Library, Revision 23.0.1 or higher.}
