Here is the code i used in java file,

btn_save.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            frm=(FrameLayout)findViewById(R.id.frame);
            frm.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
            frm.buildDrawingCache();
            bitmap = frm.getDrawingCache();
            try {
                File rootFile=new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+File.separator+"MYBOARD"+File.separator);
                rootFile.mkdirs();

                FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(rootFile); 
                bitmap.compress(CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fileOutputStream);
                fileOutputStream.flush();
                fileOutputStream.close();

            } catch (Exception e) {
            }
        }

i tried Like this, Its working now perfectly

    try {
                        File rootFile=new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()+"/MYBOARD");
                        rootFile.mkdirs();
                        Random generator = new Random();
                        int n = 10000;
                        n = generator.nextInt(n);
                        String fname = "Image-"+ n +".png";

                        resultingfile=new File(rootFile, fname);

                        if (resultingfile.exists ()) resultingfile.delete (); 
                        try {
                               FileOutputStream Fout = new FileOutputStream(resultingfile);
                               bitmap.compress(CompressFormat.PNG, 100, Fout);
                               Fout.flush();
                               Fout.close();

                        } catch (Exception e) {
                               e.printStackTrace();
                        }
} catch (Exception e) {
                }

You can't save Views to SD card or in any I/O streams as they are not Serializable and Parcelable. but you can save images of a ImageView as

    BitmapDrawable drawable = (BitmapDrawable) imageView.getDrawable();
    Bitmap bitmap = drawable.getBitmap();
    try {
        FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream("your path to save file"); 
        bitmap.compress(CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fileOutputStream);
        fileOutputStream.flush();
        fileOutputStream.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
    }

and if you want to save entire frame layout background as Image in SD card in on click of a button, write below code in OnClickListener of a Button...

    FrameLayout frameLayout = (FrameLayout)findViewById(R.id.frame);
    frameLayout.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
    frameLayout.buildDrawingCache();
    Bitmap bitmap = frameLayout.getDrawingCache();
    try {
        FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream("your path to save file"); 
        bitmap.compress(CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fileOutputStream);
        fileOutputStream.flush();
        fileOutputStream.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
    }
