Android Kitkat 4.4.2 ImageView setBackgroundResource无法正常工作？

Question

Today i came through a strange problem that ImageView.setBackgroundResource() is not working in android kitkat 4.4.2, but it is working fine in other versions. This is how i am using it:

imageView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.imageview_border);

This is the drawable:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <stroke
        android:width="6dip"
        android:color="@color/brown" />

    <padding
        android:bottom="6dip"
        android:left="6dip"
        android:right="6dip"
        android:top="6dip" />

</shape>

I have searched a lot but did not able to solve the problem. I don't know whether someone else is facing this problem in 4.4.2 except me or not. Please help me.

Answer 1

Use this

imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.imageview_border);

Instead of this

imageView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.imageview_border);

It will work.
