Screenshot Android
I would like to capture screenshots programatically (not the screen shot of my view) and have created an application to take the screen shot of my view.
I am trying to capture the device screen shot (like if user opned any image file) by using Java code(I thought of creating service and from service we can take picture but I am not sure how to achieve this).
I found some native code using frame buffer fb0 but I am very knew to this and no idea how to use it.
Here is a solution to take the screenshot of your screen and write it to the sd card
Setting up your Root layout:
View content = findViewById(R.id.layoutroot);
content.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
Function to get the rendered view:
private void getScreen()
{
View content = findViewById(R.id.layoutroot);
Bitmap bitmap = content.getDrawingCache();
File file = new File( Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/test.png");
try
{
file.createNewFile();
FileOutputStream ostream = new FileOutputStream(file);
bitmap.compress(CompressFormat.PNG, 100, ostream);
ostream.close();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Remember to add
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
to your AndroidManifest.
