Resources$NotFoundException: Resource is not a Drawable (color or path)?

I have a textview, when it is clicked, I am populating a listView inside a dialog. This code used to work fine, but today it is throwing exception.

this is my code:

tvSelectedFont = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.lblQuoteSelectedFont);
    tvSelectedFont.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {

            ListView listView = new ListView(context);
            listView.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(context, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,
                    new String[] {"Default", "Serif", "Monospace"}));
            final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(context);
            dialog.setContentView(listView);
            dialog.setTitle(R.string.txt_settings_QuotefontName);

            listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
                    String selectedTypeFace = ((TextView)view).getText().toString();
                    tvSelectedFont.setText(selectedTypeFace);
                    switch(selectedTypeFace)
                    {
                        case "Serif":
                            selectedQuoteTypeFace = Typeface.SERIF;
                            break;
                        case "Monospace":
                            selectedQuoteTypeFace = Typeface.MONOSPACE;
                            break;
                        default:
                            selectedQuoteTypeFace = Typeface.DEFAULT;
                            break;
                    }
                    tvQuoteTextSample.setTypeface(selectedQuoteTypeFace, selectedQuoteFontStyle);
                    dialog.dismiss();
                }
            });

            dialog.show();
        }
    });

The logcat error shows this:

Cant figure it out the problem. Any help please?

Solution 1:

I encountered this problem in the recent app I made. In my case, the problem was I put an image in the folder called drawable-v21, which is not available in older android API.

The solution is to put your drawable in drawable-...dpi folders too.

Hope that helps.

Solution 2:

In Android Studio change Project hierarchy to Project Files.

Then go to the res folder, you will see multiple drawable folders. Copy the images to appropriate folder(drawable) or based on Api level.

In my case image was present in drawable-24 folder therefore it was not available on api<24 devices.

Solution 3:

On the Mac in finder, I just simply moved all the files in the folder ../drawable/drawable-24 to /drawable and everything worked both on older android versions and Oreo. Also when you copy and paste the images into Android Studio make sure to paste them into drawable not drawable//drawable-24 which may be the default.
