Android Question Record Video of Phone Screen

[cambopad]

Dear all,

I would like to create an app that will be able to record the video of the whole phone screen. Does any body know how to do it? Is there any library to do that?

You cannot take screenshots programmatically. The same is true for video recording of the screen.

You can take a screenshot of your own activities.

Try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobzapp.screenstream.trial
Works much better (easier cause you do not need to tart the service from windows) if the device is rooted. But works on not rooted devices too

Thanks you Erel for your reply!
But I believe it can be done (for Android 5+) as I saw many apps on the Playstore can do that. For example, Lollipop Screen Recorder.
Those apps work flawlessly on Android 5.
After searching, I found that Google has enabled an API to allow all app developers to record the video of the phone screen that will work on Android 5.

You can read the news here,

And this is the link to their API page:

This is a tutorial on how to use media projection to record screen:

But I don't know how can I do it in B4A!
How can I do that?

Thanks you DonManfred, but my purpose is to create the app to record the video of the screen.
