Well I'm not quite sure what you actually want, but if you just want to
capture the screen - user lever, there is a way: press the sleep button
while pressing the home button. A screen capture will appear in the picture
gallery (works on lg p970 - didn't test is otherwise)
Or if you wish to capt

I am only throwing the permissions thing out there as it was the easiest to
illustrate my point. I fully understand the implications of an app having
the ability to take a screenshot. However, sometime this is a reasonable
need by a user. What I was trying to say is that there must be a better w
You are significantly under-stating what you can do with the ability to take
a screenshot at any time. This basically lets you see whatever the user is
doing. For example it would be quite feasible to wait until you determine
the user is needing to enter their password and start taking screenshot

I agree that an app taking a screenshot of extremely private information is
a high security risk. However, how is that any different than allowing an
application access to my contacts, browser, phone state, etc... As an
example take LauncherPro, because it is a complete launcher it requires

Allowing the user to take screenshots would not be a problem, in isolation.

I see that line of reasoning toss about a lot to describe why something doesn't

I don't understand why this couldn't be something that is normally available...

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" does support screenshots, albeit unelegantly
- while holding down Back, press Power. You may have to go into
another activity first before pressing Back and hitting Power at the
same time LOL.

Reporting back, as far as specifically capturing camera preview output to a
bitmap and following the prior examples to draw, this is definitely
possible. There's some interesting things going on that may be helpful for
others:
1. Camera preview size varies, some phones (such as the Samsung Ga

Um, for some definition of "full-monty", I presume, yes. :-)

I just checked this approach out as a user had emailed me asking about
screenshot capability. This definitely does the trick, but a another poster
pointed out, any output from certain components (in my case the camera
preview surfaceview) does not show up.
Perhaps the correct approach then is t

What you want is impossible, for security reasons.

Hi,
thanks for ur sample code.
As i said, they are some application screens made up of graphics component.
For eg. Gallery3D application, all the component there in screen are
graphics component. (those component can't see through hierarchy viewer
tools)
Can't test it through robotium.

Well after much trial and error I managed to capture the entire layout or
activity
using the following code
View myView = findViewById(R.id.form);
Bitmap bmp= Bitmap.createBitmap( myView.getMeasuredWidth() ,
myView.getMeasuredHeight() , Config.ARGB_);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bmp);
Hi,
Thanks for sharing code.
Code u shared will capture the entire screen, even if it is not widget
component.
[mean screen may have android or flash or web component]
i wanted to capture all the three.

Okay I output my bitmap to file as PNG and it only shows the visible

What is currently seen on the screen not the entire layout.
So would I change the onClick Code to capture the entire layout ?
thanks in advance

I'm trying to do something similar
Inside my button's OnClick I have
ViewmyView = arg0.getRootView();
myView.setDrawingCacheEnabled( true );
mPDF.addImage( myView.getDrawingCache() );
I'm hoping this will capture the screen to a bitmap
my PDF.addImage is as follows:

Your process will need permission to do that. ADB has it by default,
but regular apps don't. Unless you're rooted, you can't do that.
