I have an image in the drawable folder and I want to convert into a bitmap and then convert to byte[] to store into a database, I can convert the bitmap to a byte array but I'm not able to get the image from drawable since Bitmap photo = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.image);
returns null. How to do it?
what i have for the moment
Bitmap photo = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.image); //this returns null
if(photo != null)
byte[] bytes = getBitmapAsByteArray(photo);
//this works
DatabaseHelper databaseHelper = new DatabaseHelper(this);
databaseHelper.add("DEFAULT",bytes);
UPDATE:
when I set the bitmap to image with photo.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
after it retrieves information from database it does not appear, seems that the store does not work
I'm storing info into database like this
private static byte[] getBitmapAsByteArray(Bitmap bitmap) {
ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 0, outputStream);
return outputStream.toByteArray();
}
public boolean addUserInformation(String username, byte[] picture){
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put("USERNAME", username);
if(picture!=null) {
values.put("PICTURE", picture);
}
id = db.insert(TABLE_NAME1, null, values);
}
db.close();
if(id == -1)
return false;
else
return true;
}
and retrieve information like this
Cursor data = databaseHelper.getUserInformation();
if(data.moveToFirst()) {
mUsername = data.getString(1);
bytes = data.getBlob(2);
if(bytes!=null)
profilePhoto = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(bytes, 0, data.getBlob(2).length);
}
with getUserInformation() inside database class
public Cursor getUserInformation(){
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
String query = "SELECT * FROM " + TABLE_NAME1;
Cursor c = db.rawQuery(query,null);
return c;
}

You can do this in a very simple way. Add Glide to your project like this -
implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.9.0'
Then take a global Bitmap variable and call like this-
private Bitmap imageBitmap;
Glide.with(this)
.asBitmap()
.load(R.drawable.image)
.into(new CustomTarget<Bitmap>() {
@Override
public void onResourceReady(@NonNull Bitmap resource, @Nullable Transition<? super Bitmap> transition) {
imageView.setImageBitmap(resource);
//Save the bitmap to your global bitmap
imageBitmap = resource;
}
@Override
public void onLoadCleared(@Nullable Drawable placeholder) {
}
});
Now pass the imageBitmap to your getBitmapAsByteArray() to convert to byteArray, so that you can save this in your SQLite Database.
Hope it helps!

The following method should work fine:
public static Bitmap getBitmapFromVectorDrawable(Context context, int drawableId) {
Drawable drawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, drawableId);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
drawable = (DrawableCompat.wrap(drawable)).mutate();
}
Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(drawable.getIntrinsicWidth(),
drawable.getIntrinsicHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
drawable.setBounds(0, 0, canvas.getWidth(), canvas.getHeight());
drawable.draw(canvas);
return bitmap;
}
build.gradle (project-level)
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.0-alpha5'
}
build.gradle (app-level)
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion '23.0.3'
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 16
targetSdkVersion 23
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
}
...
}
...
Or, you can use android-ktx
in Kotlin too like this which works for any subclass of Drawable
:
build.gradle
dependencies {
implementation 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.0.0-alpha1'
}
Then use Drawable#toBitmap()
like this:
val bitmap = AppCompatResources.getDrawable(requireContext(), drawableId).toBitmap()

Use This
Bitmap photo = ((BitmapDrawable) getDrawable(R.drawable.R.drawable.image)).getBitmap();
hopefully, work fine ;)
