Hi,

I know, to take a screenshot you simply press and hold the power and volume-down buttons together.

This works normally from any app, just from an app it does not work, why?
How can an app(Sparkasse+) disable this feature?

The solution may be something like

B4X: 
#if java
import android.view.WindowManager;

public void disablescreenshot(){
   getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SECURE, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SECURE);
}

public void enablescreenshot() {
getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SECURE);
}
#end if

Also Telegram disables screenshots.
I have done a wrapper (soon to be released) which captures screenshots and I noted this too with Telegram.
