NullPointerException is thrown when an application attempts to use an object reference that has the null value.

At first, Make sure your Imageview is not Empty .

        img_Obj.buildDrawingCache();
        Bitmap image = img_Obj.getDrawingCache();

Read createBitmap

createBitmap(Bitmap source, int x, int y, int width, int height)

Problem

 card_main_layout = (RelativeLayout) customView_2.findViewById(R.id.card_main_layout);

Solution 1

 <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/card_main_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@drawable/lc_background">

Solution 2

Your card_main_layout is empty . Try with ImageView

ImageView background_imageObj= (ImageView) customView_2.findViewById(R.id.background_image);

Below I have created one popup window with method on Button click of popup window its create bitmap from popup window please check below method and XML

method:java

PopupWindow popupWindow = null;
Bitmap bitmap = null;


 private void popUp() {
            LayoutInflater layoutInflater
                    = (LayoutInflater) getBaseContext()
                    .getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

            View popupView = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.popup_window, null);
            popupWindow = new PopupWindow(
                    popupView,
                    LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
                    LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

            Button btnDismiss = (Button) popupView.findViewById(R.id.dismiss);
            btnDismiss.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    try {
                        View view = popupWindow.getContentView();
                        view.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
                        view.setDrawingCacheQuality(View.DRAWING_CACHE_QUALITY_LOW);
                        view.buildDrawingCache();
                        bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(view.getDrawingCache());
                        view.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);
                        view.destroyDrawingCache();
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                    imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
                    popupWindow.dismiss();
                }
            });

            popupWindow.showAsDropDown(button, 50, -30);
        }

XML- popup_window.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:id="@+id/rootView"
    android:background="@android:color/background_light"
    android:orientation="vertical">
    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="1dp"
        android:background="@android:color/darker_gray"
        android:orientation="vertical">
        >
        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_margin="20dp"
            android:orientation="vertical">
            <TextView
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="It's a PopupWindow" />
            <ImageView
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:src="@drawable/ic_menu_share" />
            <Button
                android:id="@+id/dismiss"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="Dismiss" />
        </LinearLayout>
    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

To show created bitmap I used one image view in Main Layout.
