Using VectorDrawable from resources in code

Question

Wanted to ask. What is the right way to use VectorDrawable from resources? with support library compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:25.1.1'

Because getDrawable() is deprecated and when I use ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, R.drawable.ic_cancel_button); for setting toolbar navigation image like this

if(toolbar != null)
{
toolbar.setNavigationIcon(ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, R.drawable.ic_cancel_button));
}

The error occures.

Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: File res/drawable/ic_cancel_button.xml from drawable resource ID #0x7f02005e

You can use this : ResourcesCompat.getDrawable(getResources(), R.drawable.your_drawable, null) — aslamconsole, Feb 18 '17 at 16:12

Have a look at AppCompatResources.getDrawable(Context context, @DrawableRes int resId).

And there is no other way except this? – Twinkle_Monkey Feb 18 '17 at 16:11
None that I'm aware of. – azizbekian Feb 18 '17 at 16:12
@Twinkle_Monkey, I wonder why won't it fulfill your needs? – azizbekian Feb 18 '17 at 16:13
it actualy works, but with little edit, like this: `AppCompatDrawableManager.get().getDrawable(@NonNull Context context, @DrawableRes int resId)` – Twinkle_Monkey Feb 18 '17 at 16:13
@azizbekian, It will, I was just wondering) – Twinkle_Monkey Feb 18 '17 at 16:14
Using not public api is not a good idea... – Selvin Feb 18 '17 at 16:21

@Selvin, it's the suggested way that is currently available through the framework. Your comment should also imply suggesting a better solution. – azizbekian Feb 18 '17 at 16:23
Suggested by who? Why my comment should imply something? I'm only comment this solution and as any other non public api usage is bad. – Selvin Feb 18 '17 at 16:25
Not who, suggested by the framework. Do you know other solution to this? I do not claim, that using non public API is a nice thing do to. – azizbekian Feb 18 '17 at 16:30
`AppCompatDrawableManager.get().getDrawable(@NonNull Context context, @DrawableRes int resId)` Of course it isn't a suggested way... The question is a duplicate... And an answer is there... – Selvin Feb 18 '17 at 16:35
