Something like that should work :

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#getDrawingCache(boolean)

public void toJPEGFile(){
    File folder = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/folder/");
    if(!folder.exists()) folder.mkdirs();

    try {
        this.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/folder/file"));
        Bitmap bitmap = this.getDrawingCache();
        bitmap.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, fos);
        fos.flush();
        fos.close();
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }



}

Did you look up the documentation?

Canvas API

You can use the:

public Canvas (Bitmap bitmap)

    Since: API Level 1
    Construct a canvas with the specified bitmap to draw into. The bitmap must be mutable.
    The initial target density of the canvas is the same as the given bitmap's density.
    Parameters

    bitmap  Specifies a mutable bitmap for the canvas to draw into.
