Convert ImageView Vector Drawable to Bitmap Android

I take a fingerprint from the user and add white background to it using glide. The issue is I need to get the byte array of that image and I can't get it because the Image being hold into the ImageView is a VectorDrawable. I am unable to convert this back to bitmap and thus to a byte array. I tried using it on a dummy png image like following.
Take any dummy PNG Image
firstIV = findViewById(R.id.firstIV);
secondIV = findViewById(R.id.secondIV);
Bitmap currentBmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.test_image);
Glide.with(this).load(currentBmp).into(new SimpleTarget<Drawable>() {
#Override
public void onResourceReady(Drawable resource, Transition<? super Drawable> glideAnimation) {
final ShapeDrawable background = new ShapeDrawable();
background.getPaint().setColor(Color.WHITE);
final Drawable[] layers = {background, resource};
firstIV.setImageDrawable(new LayerDrawable(layers));
setToAnotherImageView(firstIV.getDrawable().getIntrinsicWidth(), firstIV.getDrawable().getIntrinsicHeight());
}
});
Applied Solution
private void setToAnotherImageView(int width, int height) {
Log.e(TAG, "onCreate: " + width + ":" + height);
Bitmap convertedBmp = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(convertedBmp);
firstIV.draw(canvas);
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
convertedBmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
byte[] byteArray = stream.toByteArray();
Bitmap newBmp = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(byteArray,0,byteArray.length);
secondIV.setImageBitmap(newBmp);
}
Upon doing so my app crashes with an exception saying the vector drawable can not be converted to bitmap. The following is the error:
Originally what I want to achieve
Originally I want the bytearray of the the picture I have stored in my ImageView so I can convert that bytearray to WSQ bytearray and the send it to my server. I am trying to achieve such with an example defined above.

UPDATE:
Just find out that there is a new way to get Bitmap from ImageView:
imageView.drawToBitmap() //draw from the ImageView size
imageView.drawable.toBitmap() //draw from original Drawable size (I guess)
Convert ImageView to ByteArray:
private fun getImageBytes(): ByteArray {
val bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(my_profile_imageView.width, my_profile_imageView.height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888)
val canvas = Canvas(bitmap)
my_profile_imageView.draw(canvas)
val outputStream = ByteArrayOutputStream()
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, outputStream)
return outputStream.toByteArray()
}
However, it's not a good idea to store the image ByetArray in local, you should store the uri or url instead.

My question is a duplicate of How to get a Bitmap from VectorDrawable
However I solved it like this
private void setToAnotherImageView() {
Drawable drawable = firstIV.getDrawable();
Bitmap newBmp = Bitmap.createBitmap(drawable.getIntrinsicWidth(), drawable.getIntrinsicHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(newBmp);
drawable.setBounds(0, 0, canvas.getWidth(), canvas.getHeight());
drawable.draw(canvas);
secondIV.setImageBitmap(newBmp);
}

AnimatedVectorDrawable as map marker

I want to use animatedVectorDrawable as the map marker in Android. Is there a way to do this.
What i tried is, I use BitmapDescriptorFactory class to convert VectorDrawable to bitmap and it work fine , but when i go to convert AnimatedVectorDrawable it show nothing on map
Below code what i tried so far
.
.
.
MarkerOptions marker1 = new MarkerOptions();
marker1.icon( getBitmapDescriptor(R.drawable.setpickuplocationdrawable));
marker1.position(pickuplatlng);
marker1.title("Marker at place1");
googleMap.addMarker(marker1);
}
private BitmapDescriptor getBitmapDescriptor(int id) {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
AnimatedVectorDrawable vectorDrawable = (AnimatedVectorDrawable) getDrawable(id);
int h = vectorDrawable.getIntrinsicHeight();
int w = vectorDrawable.getIntrinsicWidth();
vectorDrawable.setBounds(0, 0, w, h);
Bitmap bm = Bitmap.createBitmap(w, h, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bm);
vectorDrawable.draw(canvas);
return BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromBitmap(bm);
} else {
return BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(id);
}
}

You cannot do that. In order to add an image to map as marker, you will need a bitmap (png preferable).
What you can do is convert the vector to a bitmap and try again.

How to convert imageurl to drawable?

First of all i searched a lot and didn't find solution for my case, i need to convert the imageUrl to drawable, what i tried as far :
File imageFile = DiskCacheUtils.findInCache(c.profilePhoto, com.nostra13.universalimageloader.core.ImageLoader.getInstance().getDiscCache());
String file_target = "file://" + imageFile.getPath();
BitmapDrawable bitDraw = (BitmapDrawable) BitmapDrawable.createFromPath(file_target);
if (profilePhotos.size() == 4) break;
BitmapDrawable drawable = bitDraw; //getResources().getDrawable(c.profilePhoto);
drawable.setBounds(0, 0, width, height);
profilePhotos.add(drawable);
Also i tried to load the image into bitmap via Glide, but didn't work.
How i can achieve that ?
Thanks in advance.

first convert URL to Bitmap and pass bitmap into these function
Drawable d= new BitmapDrawable(context.getResources(), bitmap);
return d;

How can i convert a statelistDrawable to bitmapdrawable in android

How can i convert a state list Drawable to bitmap drawable in android.
I want to convert a statelist drawable into bitmap drawable.

I found a work around if i find any icon whose type is other then bitmap drawable then use this code
here searchResult.getIcon() is my icon value
Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(searchResult.getIcon().getIntrinsicWidth(),searchResult.getIcon().getIntrinsicHeight(), Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
searchResult.getIcon().setBounds(0, 0, canvas.getWidth(), canvas.getHeight());
searchResult.getIcon().draw(canvas);
itemIconBitmap = bitmap;
e.printStackTrace();

You can use toBitmap or casting the current drawable
(stateListDrawable as? StateListDrawable)?.let { drawable ->
(drawable.current as BitmapDrawable).bitmap
}

Converting a Drawable to a Bitmap to change the color of a Marker in Google Maps Android API v2

I'm converting an old application from v1 to v2, and I'm having a problem with the color of my Marker icons. I have a basic, white icon, and It needs to be colorized.
In v1, I did it this way :
Drawable d = DrawableUtils.resizeImageToDrawable(
MapViewFragment.mapviewActivity,
Configuration.Display.getDrawableFix(i),
Configuration.MapView.getWaypointIconWidth(),
Configuration.MapView.getWaypointIconHeight());
d.setColorFilter(color, Mode.MULTIPLY);
overlay = new MyFplnFixListItimizedOverlay(d);
Since v2 Markers do not accept Drawables for their icons, I thought about converting the Drawable to a Bitmap, like this :
Drawable d = DrawableUtils.resizeImageToDrawable(
MapViewFragment.mapviewActivity,
Configuration.Display.getDrawableFix(i),
Configuration.MapView.getWaypointIconWidth(),
Configuration.MapView.getWaypointIconHeight());
d.setColorFilter(color, Mode.MULTIPLY);
Bitmap icon = ((BitmapDrawable) d).getBitmap();
Marker marker = MapViewFragment.map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.position(point)
.title(Integer.toString(fplnType))
.visible(true)
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromBitmap(icon)));
But for some reason, it's not working. The icons stay white. Anyone knows why ?
Thanks in advance.

OK, here's how I did it at the end of the day :
Drawable d = DrawableUtils.resizeImageToDrawable(
MapViewFragment.mapViewActivity,
Configuration.Display.getDrawableFix(i),
Configuration.MapView.getWaypointIconWidth(),
Configuration.MapView.getWaypointIconHeight());
d.setColorFilter(color, Mode.MULTIPLY);
Bitmap b = ((BitmapDrawable) d).getBitmap();
Canvas myCanvas = new Canvas(b);
int myColor = b.getPixel(0,0);
ColorFilter filter = new LightingColorFilter(myColor, color);
Paint pnt = new Paint();
pnt.setColorFilter(filter);
myCanvas.drawBitmap(b,0,0,pnt);
Marker marker = MapViewFragment.map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.position(point)
.title(Integer.toString(fplnType))
.visible(true)
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromBitmap(b)));

If your drawable is not defined in a XML, you can do it with this method:
protected Bitmap fromDrawable(final Drawable drawable, final int height, final int width) {
final int widthDip = (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(1, width, getResources()
.getDisplayMetrics());
final int heightDip = (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(1, width, getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
final Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, Config.ARGB_8888);
final Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
drawable.setBounds(0, 0, canvas.getWidth(), canvas.getHeight());
drawable.draw(canvas);
return bitmap;
}
Note that if you need to do it from OUTSIDE an Activity, you'll also need to pass a Context (in order to call context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics()). You also pass the DisplayMetrics object instead.

I'm not sure what this DrawableUtils is doing, but you're casting it to a BitmapDrawable. Is it really a BitmapDrawable?
here's some code to extract a Bitmap out of any type of drawable:
Drawable d = // make sure it's not null
d.setBounds(0, 0, width, height);
Bitmap b = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas c = new Canvas(b);
d.draw(c);
the idea is that you create a canvas on a mutable bitmap and draw that drawable on the canvas
edit:
I've just seen the #Analizer answer and yeah, my answer is good if you don't have the Drawable as a resource. But if you do, user his answer instead.
