Answer 1

You can use this method:

public Bitmap getScreenshotBmp() {


    FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = null;

    File path = Environment
            .getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);

    String uniqueID = UUID.randomUUID().toString();

    File file = new File(path, uniqueID + ".jpg");
    try {
        fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    screenshot.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 30, fileOutputStream);

    try {
        fileOutputStream.flush();
        fileOutputStream.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return screenshot;
 }

Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.DecodeFile (path);
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream ();
bm.Compress (Bitmap.CompressFormat.Jpeg, 100, stream);
Image img = Image.FromArray (stream.ToArray());
