Answer 1

ImageView iv = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.your_image_view);

Then set your image and when you want to retrieve/save it

iv.buildDrawingCache();

Bitmap bmp = iv.getDrawingCache();

Then save as normal to gallery

    File storageLoc = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES); //context.getExternalFilesDir(null);

    File file = new File(storageLoc, filename + ".jpg");

    try{
        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
        bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, fos);
        fos.close();

        scanFile(context, Uri.fromFile(file));

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


    private static void scanFile(Context context, Uri imageUri){
        Intent scanIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE);
        scanIntent.setData(imageUri);
        context.sendBroadcast(scanIntent);

    }

and of course make sure your manifest has permissions to write to external storage.
