How to record screen with Android Studio

Question

I connect my phone to Android Studio and code. I want to record my phone screen. I saw this but that button is disabled in my Android Studio. I can capture screens but can't record. Can someone help me with this?

UPDATE

This is how it is there in my Android studio. The button is disabled

Answer 1

Android SDK Emulators don't support recording: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=61682

The screenrecord command is simply missing:

i:\>adb -e shell
root@generic_x86_64:/ # screenrecord
/system/bin/sh: screenrecord: not found
127|root@generic_x86_64:/ #

On Windows I suggest using the Fraps generic screen capture tool as an alternative. It's an awesome tool with too many years of history to count. I'm not affiliated with them, I just used it "back in the day" when I was gaming a lot. On the Movies tab add a Video Capture Hotkey and use that to start/stop the recording. The FPS counter will be red while recording.

Maybe you should just change a phone,like this:

When using HUAWEI,the screen record is disabled:

But when changing to Nubia, it works!

In newer versions of Android Studio it requires an external Android phone to record screen from preferably with a resolution of at least 720p. Since the internal runs on the virtual memory it can't be recorded and is therefore disabled as it can't both record and run emulator at same time. I'm running Android Studio 2.3.2 which is the latest and the one I experienced this on. But when I closed the emulator and connected my HTC One M9 it automatically enabled recording button to record the phone instead of the emulated device.
Check the images below and the difference between them in the red circles:

Second image, personal device connected to computer:

Answer 6

Maybe your device does not support the screen recorder, there are many devices which does not support screen recorder thus this is device issue. If you want to record your app screen then simply run the app on android emulator or on genymotion and start your desktop screen recorder and adjust the desktop screen to fit emulator. There are many screen recorder for PC but i prefer cam studio 8. Thanks
