When the user clicks a button I want the device to take a screenshot. What code should I use for this?

Question

I have created a quiz app and once the user has finished the quiz an activity opens which shows a certificate with the user's achievements. I want the device to screen shot the certificate so that the user can view the screenshot in the gallery at a later date. What code should I put into my OnClickListener.

Thanks in advance.

It sounds like you don't need to actually take a screenshot, you likely just want to save your View to a bitmap. Take a look at this answer: Converting a view to Bitmap without displaying it in Android?

If you want to print the current content of the browser window. Use: window.print();
