Question

I tried to get Bitmap attached to an ImageView, using ImageView.getDrawingCache(); But I found that the returned Bitmap was not the same as I’d like to get from the ImageView. It was always smaller than the real image.

I had known that, the method getDrawingCache() should not have the view if it is bigger than the screen as the visible portion of the view is only drawn and the cache holds only what is drawn.

Could I get the whole bitmap attached to a ImageView?

If you just want the Bitmap from a ImageView the following code may work for you:-

Bitmap bm=((BitmapDrawable)imageView.getDrawable()).getBitmap();

I think that’s what you wanted.
