I came across the following - How to convert linearlayout to image .
It converts a linear layout to an image. What is it exactly doing?
Is it like I press a button and it saves the screenshot of the app screen as an Image?
Is that what is meant by converting a LinearLayout to Image?

I think Android already convert view to Bitmap for show on screen. You can call view.getDrawingCache() and you can set on your imageview with bitmap.

Bitmap b = Bitmap.createBitmap(view.getDrawingCache());

bmImage.setImageBitmap(b);
