Getting Bitmap from vector drawable

Checked on API: 17, 21, 23

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;}

UPDATE:

Project gradle:

dependencies {        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.0-alpha5'    }

Module gradle:

android {    compileSdkVersion 23    buildToolsVersion '23.0.3'    defaultConfig {        minSdkVersion 16        targetSdkVersion 23        vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true    }    ...}...

You can use the following method:

@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)private static Bitmap getBitmap(VectorDrawable vectorDrawable) {    Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(vectorDrawable.getIntrinsicWidth(),            vectorDrawable.getIntrinsicHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);    vectorDrawable.setBounds(0, 0, canvas.getWidth(), canvas.getHeight());    vectorDrawable.draw(canvas);    return bitmap;}

which I sometimes combine with:

private static Bitmap getBitmap(Context context, int drawableId) {    Drawable drawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, drawableId);    if (drawable instanceof BitmapDrawable) {        return ((BitmapDrawable) drawable).getBitmap();    } else if (drawable instanceof VectorDrawable) {        return getBitmap((VectorDrawable) drawable);    } else {        throw new IllegalArgumentException("unsupported drawable type");    }}

If you are willing to use Android KTX for Kotlin you can use the extension method Drawable#toBitmap() to achieve the same effect as the other answers:

val bitmap = AppCompatResources.getDrawable(requireContext(), drawableId).toBitmap() 

or

val bitmap = AppCompatResources.getDrawable(context, drawableId).toBitmap() 

To add this and other useful extension methods you will need to add the following to your module-level build.gradle

repositories {    google()}dependencies {    implementation "androidx.core:core-ktx:1.2.0"}

See here for latest instructions for adding the dependency to your project.

Note that this will work for any subclass of Drawable and if the Drawable is a BitmapDrawable it will shortcut to use the underlying Bitmap.
