I'm a very new android developer with a basic understanding of java. I've undertaken a large project and I've hit a problem I can seem to fix.
Basically my problem has three different parts:
I need to take a screenshot of my layout. I can't just use the built in screenshot function, it needs to be done on button press.
I then need to crop the picture so that the picture is only of an ImageView
and the TextView
that is on top of it. (Unless there is a simpler way to do this?)
Finally I need to save the cropped picture to some kind of memory, whether it is the sd card, the device's memory, or to gallery(not preferable).
Any help is much appreciated, thanks a lot

snap shots
My Layout snap shot
On button click prompting the user to enter a name to save
Image cropped and saved opened in gallery
Note: I have saved the cropped image in sdcard. The snap shots size varies. This worked for me on my device. I have posted the same. If anyone has a better idea pls edit the above post.
