The facility for capturing video of screen is great. I tried to capture video by connecting device thro USB cable and try to capture. It still shows that

Error: error: device not found

device is in USB debugging mode

please help

 

[Erel]

Which device are you using?

Go to the Android SDK platform-tools folder and run: adb devices. What is the output?

on my nexus 4 (android 5.0) its working like a charm, are u using android 4.4.4+??

In my nexus 5 (android 5.0) I had to select in settings / storage "connect as Media (MTP)" in usb connection.
You should be able to see the designer if you are connected.

my nexus is also on MTP and USB Debug on, after debug the app and after the app started to run on my device (usb debug) then i just started to capture and it worked very well.. this is an awesome feature (would be great if this feature will be added to b4i )

Works very well on my Galaxy S5, see it on YouTube at:
Two questions: ...

here seems to be a time limit, how long can you capture for?

is there any way to get the audio?

The video capture feature is calling adb screenrecord: http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html#screenrecord
It doesn't capture audio.
The movie is limited to 3 minutes.

Thanks, Erel. I understand. ... still, a marvelous feature to add to all the others!

I truly enjoy seeing B4A continue to grow and plan on diving into B4I soon. Thanks for all you do!

GREAT!!!!!

Speed of recording is perfect. Clarity of video and resolution perfect. Ease of use - easy!

Note - if you have more than one device connected via USB, you have to turn it off.

Recorded the following videos on Samsung Galaxy S5:
Resolution Size time quality
1280x720 11 MB 1 mn 7 sec good
640x480 8 MB 1 mn 11 sec good
320x240 6 MB 1 mn 22 sec very poor

Those are huge files for such videos without sound. In addition, I can only play the videos in landscape although taken in portrait. Is there anything that can be done to reduce the size without sacrificing quality?

You can reduce the bit rate: http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html#screenrecord
