I would like to take a screenshot of a page displayed in a WebView. The page contains flash elements - and here is the problem. When I take a screenshot all the flash parts of the page are blank.
I am using this piece of code to take a screenshot:
WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
Picture picture = webView.capturePicture();
Bitmap screenshot = Bitmap.createBitmap(picture.getWidth(),
picture.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas c = new Canvas(screenshot);
picture.draw(c);
File file = new File("/sdcard/screenshot.jpg");
FileOutputStream ostream = null;
try {
file.createNewFile();
ostream = new FileOutputStream(file);
screenshot.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, ostream);
Log.d("Test", "Screenshot taken");
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Test", "Error", e);
} finally {
try {
ostream.close();
} catch (IOException ignore) {
}
}
I was also trying to acquire Bitmap
of the screen contents using the solution given in this SO question:
View webView = findViewById(R.id.webview);
Bitmap bitmap = webView.getDrawingCache();
This also doesn't work - the result is the same (i.e. blank flash elements).
So the question is: How to take a screenshot of WebView contents also with flash elements?
