Answer 1

I am simple do like that

public Drawable getDrawableFromPath(String filePath) {
    Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filePath);
    //Here you can make logic for decode bitmap for ignore oom error.
    return new BitmapDrawable(bitmap);
}

Answer 2

There is actually a BitmapDrawable constructor straight from file path. The method you are using is depricated. Try:

Drawable myDrawable = new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), pathName);

If this doesnt work, Try getting a bitmap and creating a drawable from it:

The bitmap can be created with decodeFile

You can use it like this:

Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(pathName);

Then you can use the bitmap for drawing etc.

to convert Bitmap to drawable use

Drawable myDrawable = new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), myBitmap);

Take a look Here (Bitmaps) and Here (Bitmap Drawables) for more info.
