How to convert Views to bitmaps?


I have two Views (Textview & ImageView) in the FrameLayout, I want to save the image with text. For this, I covert the View to a bitmap.

My xml is:

<FrameLayout 
     android:id="@+id/framelayout"
     android:layout_marginTop="30dip"
     android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
     android:layout_width="fill_parent">

     <ImageView 
          android:id="@+id/ImageView01"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
          android:layout_width="wrap_content"/>

    <TextView android:id="@+id/text_view"
          android:layout_marginTop="30dip"
          android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
          android:maxLines="20"
          android:scrollbars="vertical"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

</FrameLayout>
