lets set a image using the Movie method that gets the appropriate ID. Note:getDrawable(int id) was deprecated in API 22,

not getting !!!

MovieActivity.java
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;

public class MovieActivity extends Activity {

    @InjectView(R.id.movieTitle) TextView mTitleLabel;
    @InjectView(R.id.movieImage) ImageView mMovieImage;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_movie);
        ButterKnife.inject(this);

        // The rest of the code is omitted for brevity :)
    }

    public void updateDisplay(Movie movie) {
        // Add your code here!
      mTitleLabel.setText(movie.getTitle());
      ContextCompat.getDrawable(Context, int);

    }
}
Movie.java
public class Movie {
    private String mTitle;
    private int mYearReleased;
    private int mImageId;

    public int getImageId() {
        return mImageId;
    }

    public void setImageId(int id) {
        mImageId = id;
    }

    public String getTitle() {
        return mTitle;
    }

    public void setTitle(String title) { 
        mTitle = title;
    }

    public int getYearReleased() {
        return mYearReleased;
    }

    public void setYearReleased(int year) {
        mYearReleased = year;
    }
}

To set the image use the setImageDrawable() method which expects a Drawable object which you can get by pasing the image id of the movie to the getDrawable() method:

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;

public class MovieActivity extends Activity {

    @InjectView(R.id.movieTitle) TextView mTitleLabel;
    @InjectView(R.id.movieImage) ImageView mMovieImage;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_movie);
        ButterKnife.inject(this);

        // The rest of the code is omitted for brevity :)
    }

    public void updateDisplay(Movie movie) {
        // Add your code here!
        mTitleLabel.setText(movie.getTitle());
        mMovieImage.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(movie.getImageId()));
    }
}

Please note that while ContextCompat.getDrawable() is the preferred, future-proof way to get Drawables now the challenge checker can't use it in this instance. Trying to import android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat fails. You'll have to use the old way of doing things with getDrawable() to get it to pass.
