You can also try this:

    Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeResource( getResources(), R.drawable.myimage_name);

String extStorageDirectory = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
            File file = new File(extStorageDirectory, "MyIMG.png");
            FileOutputStream outStream = null;
            try {
                outStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
                bm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, outStream);
                outStream.flush();
                outStream.close();

    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

    Uri imguri=Uri.fromFile(file);
