webview saves same screenshot again android

Question

The below code captures the webview image and save it in Pictures folder. The code is as follows

public static void getBitmapOfWebView(final WebView webView){
    Date now = new Date();
    String mPath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator + Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES + File.separator + "Screenshot_" + now + ".jpg";

    webView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
    webView.buildDrawingCache(true);
    Picture picture = webView.capturePicture();
    Bitmap  b = Bitmap.createBitmap( webView.getWidth(), webView.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
    Canvas c = new Canvas(b);

    picture.draw(c);
    FileOutputStream fos = null;
    try {

        fos = new FileOutputStream(mPath);
        if ( fos != null ) {
            b.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, fos);
            fos.close();
        }
    }
    catch(Exception e) {}

    b.recycle();
}

The above code works and saves the screenshot in the pictures folder. But the problem is when i scroll down the WebView and try to execute the same code again, it saves the old screenshot of the webview in the pictures folder.

How do i code in such a way that when i scroll the Webview, it should save the current screenshot of the webview.

Any help Appreciated.

Thank you.

instead if that you can take whole webview screenshot at a time like this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45230181/anroid-take-screenshot-of-whole-webview-in-nougat-android-7/45230400#45230400 — King of Masses, Jul 27 '17 at 06:09

does it takes new screenshot of updated view but when saving, it saves old screenshot OR it isn't taking updated screenshot at all? — Usman Rana, Jul 27 '17 at 07:03
try by putting webview inside any otherview i.e. LinearLayout and apply the same code on that to capture screenshot and check — Usman Rana, Jul 27 '17 at 07:27
and in end of method webView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false); webView.buildDrawingCache(false); make it false — Usman Rana, Jul 27 '17 at 07:30
