Issue
can any one please help me to know how to capture contents of a FrameLayout
into an image and save it to internal or external storage.
how can convert any view to image
Solution
try this to convert a view (framelayout) into a bitmap:
public Bitmap viewToBitmap(View view) {
Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(view.getWidth(), view.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
view.draw(canvas);
return bitmap;
}
then, save your bitmap into a file:
try {
FileOutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/path/to/file.png");
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, output);
output.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
don't forget to set the permission of writing storage into your AndroidManifest.xml:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
