Deep copy of a Drawable

Question

I have an ImageView. In its onClick I get its Drawable:

Drawable dr = ((ImageView) v).getDrawable();

And set it to a dialog\'s ImageView:

Answer 1

I managed to copy the drawable using following code:

drawable.mutate().getConstantState().newDrawable();

Here mutate() makes the drawable mutable to avoid sharing its state, and getConstantState().newDrawable() creates a new copy.

Thus different ImageViews use different drawables and there's no stretching.
