Ha, that did the trick. Apparently Resources.getDrawable() works with an XML drawable proxy, but BitmapFactory.decodeResource() does not. Unless someone has a good explanation why this would be so, I'm inclined to call that a bug and write it up at b.android.com. Anyone? FWIW, my final XML syntax looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <bitmap xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:src="@drawable/name1"></bitmap> I'm not sure if the android namespace is required, but it works like this, and it's probably good practice.
