Unexpected error while obtaining screenshot from d

Question

When I try to make a screenshot in Android Studio from some of my projects (by pressing the camera icon), I get the following message:

"Unexpected error while obtaining screenshot from device: EOF"

I can make a screenshot of the same image if I click the camera icon after opening a totally different project. Is there some corrupted file associated with the project that needs to be deleted and replaced?

In my case restarting the Android Studio worked for me. Go to File --> Invalidate Caches / Restart -> Invalidate and Restart.

But for someone who still has a problem after restarting. If you have getActivity().getWindow().addFlags(LayoutParams.FLAG_SECURE); set (normally used to avoid screenshots), it will also prevent you from taking screenshots from Android Studio, generating the same error Unexpected Error while obtaining screenshot.

I try this way it working :

1. Create adb_capture.txt with content

   REM ====================
   
   REM set varible _MyTime for filename
   FOR /F "tokens=1-4 delims=:." %%a IN ("%time%") DO (
   SET _MyTime=%%a%%b%%c%%d
   )
   REM adb root
   REM adb remount
   adb shell screencap -p /sdcard/Download/s1.png
   adb pull /sdcard/Download/s1.png
   adb shell rm /sdcard/Download/s1.png
   REM every file have different name by time
   rename s1.png %_MyTime%.png
   
   REM===============
   

2. Change file name to adb_capture.bat than click run which will capture phone screen

I ran into this problem recently - everything had been working fine previously. Apparently it started when I migrated to SDK 26 a few weeks ago. This fixed it for me: - shut down Studio - rename adb.exe in Android\sdk\platform-tools to .saf - copy the older adb.exe from Android\android-sdk\platform-tools to Android\sdk\platform-tools - restart Studio

So basically replace the SDK 26 adb.exe with an older version...
