I looked through multiple similar questions, although I haven\'t found proper answer on my query.

I have a drawable, defined in shape.xml

Answer 1

public static Bitmap convertDrawableResToBitmap(@DrawableRes int drawableId, Integer width, Integer height) {
    Drawable d = getResources().getDrawable(drawableId);

    if (d instanceof BitmapDrawable) {
        return ((BitmapDrawable) d).getBitmap();
    }

    if (d instanceof GradientDrawable) {
        GradientDrawable g = (GradientDrawable) d;

        int w = d.getIntrinsicWidth() > 0 ? d.getIntrinsicWidth() : width;
        int h = d.getIntrinsicHeight() > 0 ? d.getIntrinsicHeight() : height;

        Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(w, h, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
        Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
        g.setBounds(0, 0, w, h);
        g.setStroke(1, Color.BLACK);
        g.setFilterBitmap(true);
        g.draw(canvas);
        return bitmap;
    }

    Bitmap bit = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), drawableId);
    return bit.copy(Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888, true);
}

Bitmap b = convertDrawableResToBitmap(R.drawable.myDraw , 50, 50);
