title: How do I save an ImageView as an image?
body: <p>I have an ImageView with a share intent( which works great, brings up all the apps I can share the image with), however, I can not share the photo because it has no path on my phone. How do I go about saving the ImageView on my phone? Below is my code.</p>
  
  <pre><code> public void taptoshare(View v)
  {  
      View content = findViewById(R.id.myimage);
      content.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
          Bitmap bitmap = content.getDrawingCache();
          File file = new File("/DCIM/Camera/image.jpg");
          try 
          {
              file.createNewFile();
              FileOutputStream ostream = new FileOutputStream(file);
              bitmap.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, ostream);
              ostream.close();
          } 
          catch (Exception e) 
          {
              e.printStackTrace();
          }
  
  
      Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
      Uri phototUri = Uri.parse("/DCIM/Camera/image.jpg");
      shareIntent.setData(phototUri);
      shareIntent.setType("image/*");
      shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, phototUri);
      startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share Via"));
  
  }   
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE</strong>
  Ok, so I figured it out. Now I have a new question, how would I go about saving this image to a new folder? </p>
