This is what you have to do: -Connect your mobile to computer with usb cable -Open your SDK folder. -Go to tools folder -Execute ddms.bat -Your Device must be Online -Go to Device>Screen capture... or press Ctrl-S -Press Refresh in order to update your Screenshot. -Press Save to save your Screenshot.

This is actually wrong - you can easily take a screenshot of the current screen by invoking Code: Copy /system/bin/screencap -p /sdcard/screenshot.png which outputs a screenshot of the current immediate screen to "screenshot.png" on the sdcard. This method works in API14 and above without root being required, no matter the system, even if the device is running Sense or Touchwiz.

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 16, 2013 #26 It is much simpler. You can get the Bitmap with ImageView.Bitmap and then save it with Bitmap.WriteToStream.

Click to expand... Hi Erel, Thank you for responding, but, oppppps, i have forget one thing. I want to get a screen shot from an animate bitmap, who's animated by an external library. And this solution can't work Then of course i need to take the screen shot only for a part of the screen otherwise i still get a fixed drawing of the bitmap. Regards.

P priusfan Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 2, 2013 #33 @me68 (private joke) hello Martin I remind you this application is made for an electric car... Using one full hand for holding the phone/tablet and 2 fingers from the other one for taking a screenshot is a bit dangerous when driving. some details about this dev are here me68 joined me on this dev and made it better & better.
