view.getDrawingCache() is deprecated in Android API 28
Try this:
private fun convertViewToDrawable(view: View): Bitmap {
val spec = View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED)
view.measure(spec, spec)
view.layout(0, 0, view.measuredWidth, view.measuredHeight)
val b = Bitmap.createBitmap(view.measuredWidth, view.measuredHeight,
Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888)
val c = Canvas(b)
c.translate((-view.scrollX).toFloat(), (-view.scrollY).toFloat())
view.draw(c)
return b
}
I have found a way to use PixelCopy API for retrieving the view as a Bitmap. Used Kotlin
fun getBitmapFromView(view: View, activity: Activity, callback: (Bitmap) -> Unit) {
activity.window?.let { window ->
val bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(view.width, view.height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888)
val locationOfViewInWindow = IntArray(2)
view.getLocationInWindow(locationOfViewInWindow)
try {
PixelCopy.request(window, Rect(locationOfViewInWindow[0], locationOfViewInWindow[1], locationOfViewInWindow[0] + view.width, locationOfViewInWindow[1] + view.height), bitmap, { copyResult ->
if (copyResult == PixelCopy.SUCCESS) {
callback(bitmap)
}
// possible to handle other result codes ...
}, Handler())
} catch (e: IllegalArgumentException) {
// PixelCopy may throw IllegalArgumentException, make sure to handle it
e.printStackTrace()
}
}
}
Two ways to get bitmap of view
- Using Canvas
- Using Pixel Api
Canvas Java
Bitmap getBitmapFromView(View view) {
Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(
view.getWidth(), view.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888
);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
view.draw(canvas);
return bitmap;
}
Bitmap getBitmapFromView(View view,int defaultColor) {
Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(
view.getWidth(), view.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888
);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
canvas.drawColor(defaultColor);
view.draw(canvas);
return bitmap;
}
Canvas Kotlin
fun getBitmapFromView(view: View): Bitmap {
val bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(
view.width, view.height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888
)
val canvas = Canvas(bitmap)
view.draw(canvas)
return bitmap
}
fun getBitmapFromView(view: View, defaultColor: Int): Bitmap {
val bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(
view.width, view.height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888
)
val canvas = Canvas(bitmap)
canvas.drawColor(defaultColor)
view.draw(canvas)
return bitmap
}
Example
//@param rootView is View object which you want to get bitmap
Bitmap bitmap = getBitmapFromView(rootView);
Bitmap bitmapColored = getBitmapFromView(rootView,Color.WHITE);
PixelCopy Api
https://stackoverflow.com/a/52985554/9909365
fun getBitmapFromView(view: View, activity: Activity, callback: (Bitmap) -> Unit) {
activity.window?.let { window ->
val bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(view.width, view.height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888)
val locationOfViewInWindow = IntArray(2)
view.getLocationInWindow(locationOfViewInWindow)
try {
PixelCopy.request(window, Rect(locationOfViewInWindow[0], locationOfViewInWindow[1], locationOfViewInWindow[0] + view.width, locationOfViewInWindow[1] + view.height), bitmap, { copyResult ->
if (copyResult == PixelCopy.SUCCESS) {
callback(bitmap)
}
// possible to handle other result codes ...
}, Handler())
} catch (e: IllegalArgumentException) {
// PixelCopy may throw IllegalArgumentException, make sure to handle it
e.printStackTrace()
}
}
}

As of the official documentation getDrawingCache() you should use the PixelCopy api.
