Drawable VS Bitmap in a specific case

Issue

I'm developing a music Player, and since i have started I've a question: Should i use Drawable or Bitmap? Considered that:

I have to load many images, one for every song (The image is loaded only when it is the turn of that song).

The image loaded has to be visualized on the Widget and Notification too.

The same image is displayed on more activities.

The image loading has to be as fast as possible.

The memory usage have to be as low as possible, even after have loaded several images.

I was thinking to temporarly save images of actual playlist, so I don't have to reload it every time is played the same song.

I am using Glide library to have better performance in this moment, and I am working with bitmap. Any suggestion?

Solution

Drawable is just a wrapper for things that can be drown (colors, vector images, layer-lists, selectors and bitmaps).

Whereas bitmaps are actually representation of images in Android. So, your question is invalid, we can not equate bitmap and Drawable.
