Try with below code on menu item click event....

View v = view.getRootView();
v.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
Bitmap b = v.getDrawingCache();

// give path of external directory to save image
String extr = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
File myPath = new File(extr, "test.jpg");
FileOutputStream fos = null;

try {
    fos = new FileOutputStream(myPath);
    b.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, fos);
    fos.flush();
    fos.close();       
} catch (Exception e) {       
    e.printStackTrace();
}

where view v is root layout...

It take the picture of action bar as well I dont want the action bar in the picture. How can i remove that. – Mayur May 14 '14 at 12:03
take your parent view instead of root view... by findViewById(R.id.yourView); – Priyank Patel May 14 '14 at 12:08
You mean to say the ImageView on which am putting the textview. Sorry but am new to android. – Mayur May 14 '14 at 12:12
Your xml's parent view like RelativeLayout or LinearLayout in which ImageView & TextView are located. – Priyank Patel May 14 '14 at 12:16
I have taken RelativeLayout and I have used that only for the code you have given. relativeLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.drag_activity_layout); View v = relativeLayout.getRootView(); – Mayur May 14 '14 at 12:19
Instead of `View v = relativeLayout.getRootView();`... try with `View v = findViewById(R.id.drag_activity_layout);` – Priyank Patel May 14 '14 at 12:24
Please accept my answer if it's worked for you...& my name is Priyank, not Priyanka... :P :) – Priyank Patel May 14 '14 at 12:32
