Android Question Take a screenshot

[trueboss323]

Is there a way to programmatically take a screenshot by code? I couldn't find any recent example that works.

Dim x As B4XView = Activity 'XUI library
Dim bmp As Bitmap = x.Snapshot

I tried that but it doesn't include the title bar.

Your question is not clear. We cannot guess the problem...

This only captures the Activity screenshot , I want to know if I can capture the screenshot of the whole device.

This only captures the Activity screenshot

It captures the active activity.
The Topbar is not part of your app so you can not capture it.
You can use the android screenshot function. swipe over the hole screen from left to right to do a capture
like this one

Is there a way to programmatically take a screenshot of the entire screen like you showed? If not , I guess i am Ok with Erel's code. It's a better improvement than the 10+ lines of code we had.
