Deep copy of a Drawable

Finally I succeed! I had similar problem, when I used color filter on my drawable it changed the drawable, its very close to the solution of the other people here, but only this worked for me:

Drawable drwNewCopy = dr.getConstantState().newDrawable().mutate();

Use BitmapFactory to convert the drawable into bitmap separately make or perform changes on it.

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.
