There are two ways you can try,

Using Eclipse

Open the Devices view in Eclipse ( Window Menu --> Show View Option --> Other, Android --> Devices), and there's a toolbar button on the right side labeled Screen Capture

Using Android Code

Bitmap bitmap;
View v1 = MyView.getRootView();
v1.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(v1.getDrawingCache());
v1.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);
