Let me give u an Example: Let's say you have a layout and it has a parent layout could be (Relative,Absoulte or LinerLayout). Take the id out of it. Below are the steps to do this.
Step 1: Declare a Variable View screen; Step 2: in public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) Method screen = (View) findViewById(R.id.captureimagelayout); // Change your Layout id here. Step 3: in the Button onclick Listener do this. screen.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true); Bitmap imgToSave = screen.getDrawingCache(); Step 4: in the Step 3# you have the Bitmap object, use File:\\ operations to save the bitmap. you are done. As simple as that. Regards, Mukesh Kumar, Android Consultant/Freelancer. India,Hyderabad.
