I'm trying to change the image of the ImageButton programmatically.

I'm trying to copy this code, but the setBackgroundDrawable is already deprecated.

public void giveClue(View view) {
    Drawable replacer = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.icon2);
    ((ImageButton) view).setEnabled(false);
    ((ImageButton) view).setBackgroundDrawable(replacer);
    gameAdapter.giveClue(game);
}

My button was created using xml as follows:

   <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/ImageButton2"
        android:layout_width="24dp"
        android:layout_height="22dp"
        android:layout_alignTop="@+id/imageButton1"
        android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/ImageButton3"
        android:src="@drawable/icon" 
        android:onClick="giveClue"/>

your code is trying to change the background of the button. not its image. Those are two different things

  ((ImageButton) view).setImageResource(R.drawable.icon2);
