Resources$NotFoundException: Drawable com.example.test:drawable/back_button with resource ID #0x7f080073

Question

I recently added vector drawables (anydpi) to my android studio project in addition to png images (mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi, and xxhdpi)--android studio does this by default now.

I immediately started getting this error:

The error led to here in my code:

Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar)findViewById(R.id.toolbar_settings);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();

actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
int drawable = R.drawable.back_button;
actionBar.setHomeAsUpIndicator(drawable); // ERROR IS HERE
toolbar.setNavigationIcon(drawable);

The code above is called in the onCreate of my activity, where I set a custom drawable (R.drawable.back_button) to the back button of the activity.

However, R.drawable.back_button is a drawable resource file which changes the drawable when it is pressed:

<selector
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_pressed="false">
        <bitmap
            android:src="@drawable/back">
        </bitmap>
    </item>
    <item android:state_pressed="true">
        <bitmap
            android:src="@drawable/back"
            android:tint="@color/colorAccent">
        </bitmap>
    </item>
</selector>

I have tried using app:srcCompat instead of and in addition to android:src, but I still get the error.

R.drawable.back is made up of 5 files of different dpi's: anydpi (vector), mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi, and xxhdpi.

And my gradle settings:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 28
    buildToolsVersion '28.0.3'
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.test"
        minSdkVersion 17
        targetSdkVersion 28
        versionCode 5
        versionName "1.1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
        vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
        renderscriptTargetApi 24
        renderscriptSupportModeEnabled true
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
            zipAlignEnabled true
        }
    }
    lintOptions {
        checkReleaseBuilds false
        abortOnError false
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    androidTestImplementation('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })
    implementation('com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0') { force = true }
    implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.3'
    implementation('com.android.support:design:28.0.0') { force = true }
    implementation('com.android.support:support-v4:28.0.0') { force = true }
    implementation('com.android.support:support-vector-drawable:28.0.0') { force = true }
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    implementation("com.android.support:support-compat:28.0.0") { force = true }
    implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.71828'
    implementation 'commons-io:commons-io:2.5'
    implementation 'com.android.support:exifinterface:28.0.0'
    implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:28.0.0'
}

Also interesting: when I change the drawable I set in the onCreate to R.drawable.back (directly using the drawable instead of using R.drawable.back_button, which is a resource file), there is no error. So crash seems to be due to using vector drawables in a drawable resource file.

UPDATE:

Another error I am getting:

In R.drawable.back_button, when I only use android:src, I get an error:

<bitmap
    android:src="@drawable/back" <!-- ERROR: When using VectorDrawableCompat, you need to use srcCompat-->
    android:tint="@color/colorAccent"/>

But when I use srcCompat

<bitmap <!-- ERROR: required attribute src should be defined-->
    app:srcCompat="@drawable/back"
    android:tint="@color/colorAccent"/>

Using both src and srcCompat doesn't work either.

Can you try `ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, R.drawable.back_button)`? — Bach Vu, Feb 11 '19 at 08:15
1) Drawables with theme attributes ContextCompat.getDrawable(getActivity(), R.drawable.name); You'll obtain a styled Drawable as your Activity theme instructs. This is probably what you need. 2) Drawables without theme attributes ResourcesCompat.getDrawable(getResources(), R.drawable.name, null); — ardiien, Feb 11 '19 at 08:32
remove the png's and add this to your on create AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true); — Ankit Aman, Oct 26 '20 at 15:07

There is no problem with your code, we need to add the @drawable/back in every drawable folder example "main/res/drawable-xxhdpi", "main/res/drawable-xhdpi” …etc then only it will work. (i.e every size ex: hdpi, mdpi,xxhdpi..etc)

we can add the back.png in every folder using android studio by following steps

click “File” and then Click on "New", then "Image Asset"

Change "Asset Type" to "Action Bar and Tab Icons”

For "Foreground" choose “ClipArt"

For "Clipart" click and "Choose" button and pick any icon

For "Resource Name" type in your icon file name

6. Click Next then all sizes of the images(hdpi, mdpi,xxhdpi..etc) will be generated

Drawable icon = AppCompatResources.getDrawable(context, R.drawable. back_button);
actionBar.setHomeAsUpIndicator(icon);

and set below to on create

AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);
