I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because "can I haz teh code?" questions are off-topic. Please show us what you have done. — An SO User, Sep 17 '15 at 06:55

set button click listener

share = (Button)findViewById(R.id.share);
share.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        Bitmap bitmap = takeScreenshot();
        saveBitmap(bitmap);

    }
});

then you have to create two method

public Bitmap takeScreenshot() {
View rootView = findViewById(android.R.id.content).getRootView();
rootView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
return rootView.getDrawingCache();
}

public void saveBitmap(Bitmap bitmap) {
File imagePath = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/screenshot.png");
FileOutputStream fos;
try {
    fos = new FileOutputStream(imagePath);
    bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fos);
    fos.flush();
    fos.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    Log.e("GREC", e.getMessage(), e);
} catch (IOException e) {
    Log.e("GREC", e.getMessage(), e);
}
}

After add this code into your app, run the app and check your local storage, you have created screen shot of whole page.

 private void getScreen(){
            View v = view.getRootView();
            v.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
            Bitmap b = v.getDrawingCache();
            String extr = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
            File myPath = new File(extr, getString(R.string.free_tiket)+".jpg");
            FileOutputStream fos = null;
            try {
            fos = new FileOutputStream(myPath);
            b.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, fos);
            fos.flush();
            fos.close();
            MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage( getContentResolver(), b, "Screen", "screen");
            } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
        }
}

does it automatically save the photo to our memory – user3409897 Sep 18 '15 at 07:23
No. You have to implement to manually. First create a folder through programatically and then specify path where you want to store your pic. – android_softy Sep 18 '15 at 07:26
Either you can save path in Any location in you mobile and when you need that image call image path and change image path to Bitmap and apply to imageView – android_softy Sep 18 '15 at 07:28
This captures the status bar as white – Nainal Aug 31 '17 at 08:50
