Android Question Screenshot excludes keypad

[Ladas]

Using the code in the guide (17.15 Taking a screenshot programaticaly) I am able to take shots of everything in the activity area. But if I bringup the keypad into view and try to take a shot, the keypad is missing from the shot. Is there anyway of including the keypad in the shot using this code?

WHY are you writing ALL in bold?
As far as i know you cannot get the keyboard on the Screenshot as it is not part of the viewgroup of b4a.

Oops! didn't realise my font was all bold. My apologies. Thought this code was similar or the same as that used in the IDE to take shots via the USB. Those shots do include the keyboard.

No. These are two different methods. The IDE uses the screenshot feature of ADB to take a real screenshot. It is not possible to do the same thing from your code.

Thanks Erel. Helpful to know.
