Image on canvas to JPEG file

1. create an empty bitmap
2. create a new Canvas object and pass this bitmap to it
3. call view.draw(Canvas) passing it the canvas object you just created. Refer Documentation of method for details.
4. Use Bitmap.compress() to write the contents of the bitmap to an OutputStream, file maybe.

Pseudo code:

Bitmap  bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap( view.getWidth(), view.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);view.draw(canvas); bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, fos); 

1. set Drawing Cache Enabled
2. Draw whatever you want
3. Get Bitmap object from view
4. Compress and save the image file

Canvas to JPG:

Canvas canvas = null;FileOutputStream fos = null;Bitmap bmpBase = null;bmpBase = Bitmap.createBitmap(image_width, image_height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);canvas = new Canvas(bmpBase);// draw what ever you want canvas.draw...// Save Bitmap to Filetry{    fos = new FileOutputStream(your_path);    bmpBase.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fos);    fos.flush();    fos.close();    fos = null;}catch (IOException e){    e.printStackTrace();}finally{    if (fos != null)    {        try        {            fos.close();            fos = null;        }        catch (IOException e)        {            e.printStackTrace();        }    }}
