Output is unexpected while trying to take a foreground-screenshot

Question

So my problem is the output of this code is this (the square one) instead of what I should expect. Any ideas why this happens?

I'll explain this much further, the output is basically a square like image but not really square but it contains all the view but it is compressed unlike what we should expect, a fullscreen size image with all the views in the proper place:

Code:

private Bitmap getScreenshot(int id) {
    Log.d(TAG, "Creating screenshot");
    RelativeLayout RL= (RelativeLayout)findViewById(id);
    View v1 = getWindow().getDecorView().getRootView(); //or RL.getRootView();

    v1.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);

    v1.measure(MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED), 
                  MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));
    v1.layout(0, 0, v1.getMeasuredWidth(), v1.getMeasuredHeight()); 

    v1.buildDrawingCache(true);
    Bitmap bm = Bitmap.createBitmap(v1.getDrawingCache());
    v1.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);
    return bm;
}

The answer to this question is: Just force the width and the height of the views. If it is auto scaled like match_parent, the screenshot will not see it like how it is outputted. Code: view.getLayoutParams().width = width;

Same goes with the height https://i.stack.imgur.com/mFuNG.png
