java.lang.ClassCastException: android.graphics.drawable.ColorDrawable cannot be cast to android.graphics.drawable.BitmapDrawable

I'm trying to decompose a crash on my Android app from a device with the following specs:

Device
PAP3400DUO 1
Manufacturer — Android version Android 4.2 RAM (MB) — Screen size 480 × 800 Screen density (dpi) 240 OpenGL ES version 2.0 Native platform armeabi-v7a

Error:

Is it really pointing me to line 120? The code there shows this approximately:

ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.profile_picture);
            Bitmap bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable) imageView.getDrawable()).getBitmap();
            ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
            byte[] image = stream.toByteArray();
            ParseFile file = new ParseFile("profilePicture.png", image);
            user1.put("profilePicture", file);

What could the problem possibly be? I researched the ClassCastException thrown but I can't seem to put the two together. What does drawable.ColorDrawable have to do with my bitmap here?

Edit:

<ImageView
                        android:id="@+id/profile_picture"
                        android:layout_width="87dp"
                        android:layout_height="87dp"
                        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical"
                        android:clickable="true"
                        android:contentDescription="@string/content_desc_profile_picture"
                        android:scaleType="fitXY"
                        android:src="@android:color/transparent" />
Solution 
  • Bitmap bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable) imageView.getDrawable()).getBitmap();

    Apparently, imageView does not contain a BitmapDrawable, but rather a ColorDrawable, in the situation where this exception occurs. You need to examine all of the different places that you are populating this ImageView. Or, better yet, rather than try to yank a drawable back out of an ImageView, get the image from your model objects or whatever data source you are using to populate the ImageView in the first place.
