java - BitmapFactory.decodeResourse() returns null for shape defined in xml drawable -

java - BitmapFactory.decodeResourse() returns null for shape defined in xml drawable -

i looked through multiple similar questions, although haven't found proper reply on query. have drawable, defined in shape.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle" > <solid android:color="@color/bg_color" /> </shape>

i want convert bitmap object in order perform operations, bitmapfactory.decoderesource returns null.

bitmap bmp = bitmapfactory.decoderesource(getresources(), r.drawable.shape);

what doing wrong? bitmapfactory.decoderesourse() applicable xml defined drawables?

since want load drawable, not bitmap, utilize this:

drawable d = getresources().getdrawable(...);

to turn bitmap:

public static bitmap drawabletobitmap (drawable drawable) { if (drawable instanceof bitmapdrawable) { homecoming ((bitmapdrawable)drawable).getbitmap(); } bitmap bitmap = bitmap.createbitmap(drawable.getintrinsicwidth(), drawable.getintrinsicheight(), config.argb_8888); canvas canvas = new canvas(bitmap); drawable.setbounds(0, 0, canvas.getwidth(), canvas.getheight()); drawable.draw(canvas); homecoming bitmap; }

taken from: how convert drawable bitmap?
