Android: getting Resources$NotFoundException for abc_ic_ab_back_material

Question

I\'m getting a Resources$notfoundexception on older (pre-L) devices. I\'m including the full stacktrace below.

My version of the support library is the latest (24.1

Answer 1

I was using the application context when calling ContextCompat.getDrawable() which also crashes the app with Resources$NotFoundException and now the following message even though everything else was set up just fine:

If the resource you are trying to use is a vector resource, you may be referencing it in an unsupported way. See AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled() for more info.

All I had to do was to change to the view's Context. :)
