Convert colorDrawable to bitmap

Question

I am trying to save the profile picture from Google login, and am kind of a noob at this, so I am doing it in a rather round-about way. There is likely a better way to do this, and if you know it please let me know. But I think there is an unasked question in my round-about way. SO - here we go.

String profilePicUrl = googleSignInAccount.getPhotoUrl().toString();

ImageView intermediaryIV = (ImageView) 
findViewById(R.id.intermediary);
Glide.with(this).load(profilePicUrl).into(intermediaryIV);

ColorDrawable drawable = (ColorDrawable) intermediaryIV.getDrawable();
Bitmap toSaveBitmap = drawable.get; //??

savePicToInternalStorage(toSaveBitmap)

The Glide api (https://github.com/bumptech/glide) loads the image from google into an imageView, and then I grab the drawable from the imageview. But in this case I don't get a normal bitmapDrawable I get a colorDrawable which does not contain a .toBitmap() function. Which causes me a problem because I need to save a bitmap.

So the question is can I convert a colorDrawable to a bitmap?

Also, if you have a better way to save an image from google, would you link me to that in the comments? We can leave the actually post answer to the main question.

You can store the bitmap from the image view drawing cache.

iv.buildDrawingCache();
Bitmap bitmap=iv.getDrawingCache();
