Initializing Bitmap variable with bitmap drawable from resources is not working - using ANDROID

Issue

I use the following code to initialize my bitmap variable:

Bitmap bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable)this.model.gameView.context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.pic1)).getBitmap();

When I try to log the width of that bitmap, the log does not even output anything for that call.

I know it's making it to that line, because I traced the code.

Also, when I try to do canvas.draw for the bitmap, nothing is drawn on the screen.

Everything I draw with rectangles works fine.

My picture resource is a PNG.

Any help is appreciated!

Solution

Just figured it out. It had nothing to do with the method of bitmap loading I used. It was a logical error on my part. My code accidentally reached a case where my bitmap became null, and it tried to draw the null resource on the canvas.
