mapview.getMapDrawingCache() returns null

[SwatiGadey]

I am trying to create a bitmap image of the Map (MapView object) as follows:

Bitmap drawingCache = mapview.getDrawingCache(true);
Btimap bitmap = mapview.getDrawingMapCache(0, 0, mapview.getWidth(), mapview.getHeight());
Bitmap drawingCache = mapview.getDrawingCache(false);

This returns a null in my 'bitmap' object. What is the correct way of using mapview.getMapDrawingCache method for getting map image?

Andrew, we've confirmed that this is one of those cases where the NIM was indirectly related and the solution fixed the problem.
