Take screenshot of an activity on click in android

Question

I want to take screenshot of an activity and show it in next activity on button click. I'm using following code but its not working.
Please let me know if anyone knows the answer:

choose.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    mainlayout.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
                    mainlayout.measure(View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED),
                            View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));
                    mainlayout.layout(0, 0, mainlayout.getMeasuredWidth(), mainlayout.getMeasuredHeight());
                    mainlayout.buildDrawingCache(true);
                    Bitmap b = Bitmap.createBitmap(mainlayout.getDrawingCache());
                    mainlayout.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false); // clear drawing cache
                    Intent i4=new Intent(Screen3.this,Screen4.class);
                    i4.putExtra("BitmapImage", b);
                    startActivity(i4);
                }//onclick
            });

public static Bitmap captureScreen(View v){

        Bitmap bitmap = null;

        try {
            if(v!=null)
            {
                 int width = v.getWidth();
                 int height = v.getHeight();

                 Bitmap screenshot = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, Bitmap.Config.RGB_565);
                 v.draw(new Canvas(screenshot));
                }
             } 
        catch (Exception e){

             Log.d("captureScreen", "Failed");
        }

     return bitmap;
     }

v is the what is being capturing (any layout)

Intent intent = new Intent(this,SecondActivity.class); intent.putExtra("bmp", bitmap); and in second activity Intent intent = getIntent(); Bitmap bmp = (Bitmap) intent.getParcelableExtra("bmp"); – Ajay Pandya Apr 25 '15 at 07:12
