I have two main issues which are closely linked. I am looking at these problems from a programmatic point of view.
(1) - I wish to take a screenshot of the contents of a SPECIFIC layout, i.e. a ScrollView
nested in a LinearLayout
.
(2) - As the ScrollView
has content that spills out of the screen (hence scrolling made possible), how can I ensure that the screenshot includes the elements that are not visible on the screen?
This is the current block of code I use. It does the job of taking a screenshot but only for the entire screen. This is even though R.id.boss
is the ID of the ScrollView
and not the main LinearLayout
.
View view = findViewById(R.id.boss);
View v = view.getRootView();// this does not seem to make a difference
v.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
v.measure(MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED),
MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));
v.layout(0, 0, v.getMeasuredWidth(), v.getMeasuredHeight());
v.buildDrawingCache(true);
Bitmap b = Bitmap.createBitmap(u.getDrawingCache());
v.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
I've made a few mistakes. I used R.id.boss
which is the wrong resource. I am now able to take a screenshot of the scrollview alone, less the out-of-screen parts.
