How to convert a Drawable to a Bitmap?

Question

I would like to set a certain Drawable as the device\'s wallpaper, but all wallpaper functions accept Bitmaps only. I cannot use WallpaperMan

Answer 1

BitmapFactory.decodeResource() automatically scales the bitmap, so your bitmap may turn out fuzzy. To prevent scaling, do this:

BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inScaled = false;
Bitmap source = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(),
                                             R.drawable.resource_name, options);

or

InputStream is = context.getResources().openRawResource(R.drawable.resource_name)
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
