Comparing resources within two drawables

Question

I am trying to compare two drawables but without success. I did some research, there is even a similar question but did not help.

In my app, I use getCompoundD

Answer 1

getConstantState doesn't work well

If you do this: if(drawable1 == drawable2){

you are comparing the reference of the objects and it not correct...

use instead equals with the getConstantState() method...

Update Try to compare with bytes or pixel is the only way that generally works.

 // Usage: 
 drawable1.bytesEqualTo(drawable2) 
 drawable1.pixelsEqualTo(drawable2) 
 bitmap1.bytesEqualTo(bitmap1) 
 bitmap1.pixelsEqualTo(bitmap2)
