Answer 1

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);
