convert Drawable to Bitmap

This piece of code helps.

Bitmap icon = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(),
                                           R.drawable.icon_resource);

Edit: Here a version where the image gets downloaded.

String name = c.getString(str_url);
URL url_value = new URL(name);
ImageView profile = (ImageView)v.findViewById(R.id.vdo_icon);
if (profile != null) {
    Bitmap mIcon1 =
        BitmapFactory.decodeStream(url_value.openConnection().getInputStream());
    profile.setImageBitmap(mIcon1);
}

This converts a BitmapDrawable to a Bitmap.

Drawable d = ImagesArrayList.get(0);  Bitmap bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable)d).getBitmap();
