I’m developing an app that makes a CRUD to fill out information on the screen. One of this information is photos.

I would like to know better the difference between these two objects to find out which one would be the most correct to apply.

Drawable is something that can be drawn. For example. layout, vector image (line, circle), font, image and so on

Bitmap - is a specific type of Drawable that is image, such as: PNG, JPEG or more

  • I believe that Android Bitmaps are not compressed. They can come from . jpeg or . png but its memory format is the uncompressed "bit array".
