    Drawable drawable;

    Bitmap bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable) drawable).getBitmap();
    ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, stream);
    byte[] bitmapdata = stream.toByteArray();

Get a bitmap decodeResource(android.content.res.Resources, int) Then either compress it to ByteArrayOutputStream() or copyPixelsToBuffer and get your array from the buffer. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Bitmap.html

ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
mPhoto.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG /* FileType */,
                        100 /* Ratio */, stream);

HTH !
