I know you need root access if you want to capture a screenshot by using a background application. However is it possible to just grab the screen content of your current visible activity owned by your process? This does not seem like a security constraint since the user has already installed your app is currently using your app. If so how does this work?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow can I take a screenshot programmatically? So far I've learned that:
1) DDMS does it by sending "framebuffer:" to the adb service over a socket, which takes a screenshot in framebuffer_service.c that it sends back.
2) There are some proprietary screenshot apps out there that stipulate the user must have root access, I'm not sure why.
Would it be possible for an Android app to send "framebuffer:" to its own adb service and get the screenshot that way?
All I keep seeing is people asking for an app that allow screenshots without root. The only solution all have given is installing sdk which is a pain in the bum to do. I have another mini-solution until such an app is developed.
Both Open Home and Home++ have this feature built in. Only negative to it is, you won't be able to take a screenshot of your HTC Sense UI home screen or Android stock home screen only the open home or home++ screen. But for many who are like me and could not run the SDK correctly, this works just fine.
My goal is to be able to type a one word command and get a screenshot from a rooted Nexus One attached by USB. So far, I can get the framebuffer which I believe is a 32bit xRGB888 raw image by pulling it like this: adb pull /dev/graphics/fb0 fb0 rom there though, I'm having a hard time getting it converted to a png. I'm trying with ffmpeg like this: ffmpeg -vframes 1 -vcodec rawvideo -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb8888 -s 480x800 -i fb0 -f image2 -vcodec png image.png That creates a lovely purple image that has parts that vaguely resemble the screen, but it's by no means a clean screenshot.

Ans -> Press power button (mostly present on top of phone) and keeping it pressed, quickly press "Home" touch key on front screen. That's it. That's all you needed to take screenshot. Image is saved in Gallery folder of your phone. This pretty much works in Gingerbread and ICS, if not other versions of Android.

View 8 Replies View RelatedWhy do Android screenshot utilities only work on rooted devices? Linux distributions and desktop environments provide user-space screen capture tools. Why can't Android? I wonder what are the technical issues, if any, that prevent this. The only user-space procedure I am aware of, i.e. installing about 1 GB worth of development tools on a PC, hooking it to an Android device via USB, and disabling some of its funzionality (e.g. SD card access), is not user-friendly.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an application I wrote for Android (lat's call it MyMainApp).
My contractor wants me to write another utility (service) to periodically check his website for newer versions of MyMainApp, and if there is one - download it and install.
I know this is handled by the Market app, but my contractor wants to do it in his own utility (he does not want the user to be bothered with the update process).
Of course - the user will be notified and agree to this feature. Can this be done?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm starting-up yet another Android game review blog, and found the instructions to use the Android SDK to take screen captures from my phone (not rooted). This solution works beautifully for stationary-screen type games, but I'm having major tearing issues in my screencaps for Minisquadron - which is a fast, action type game. Are there any settings for the SDK/DDMS.bat that allow for faster, less-laggy captures? Or perhaps a "pause" app on the Market somewhere that lets me pause a game without a screen-overlay? I've tried Shoot It with the same results.

Then, I used the getRootView().getDrawingCache() to get the screenshot of my application. I found that the screenshot didn't include the current wallpaper. Does anyone know the reason?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI wonder whether there is a way to screen shot android programmatically without rooting the phone?
On Google play, there are numbers of screen shot apps saying "no need to root the phone". But actually, most of them do need to root the phone even they said no need.I can only do it by rooting the phone and pushing my app as system app.
It seems like every example I can find of switching between Activity's involves creating an Intent and passing in the context of a View via an OnClickListener associated with a button.But what if you just decide you need to switch Activity's? In my case, a Preference value is causing an Activity switch. How do you create an Intent that can cause an Activity switch without an associated OnClickListener?

I want do set size (in px) of dialog based on screen resolution, so I have to set dialog size programatically during runtime.
Dialog layout is defined in xml with all standard views, so it would be nice to have better way to set dialog size than override-in top view's onMeasure(...).
Are the following actions possible using the latest version of the Android API?:
Temporarily disable sending text messages
Temporarily disable receiving text messages
*Ideally, I would intercept them and queue them up for later delivery.
Temporarily disable incoming calls except from certain phone numbers
Temporarily disable outgoing calls except to certain phone numbers

Is it possible to remove an application programatically? If so, shall I look at the package manager for that or is there an example some place? When a package is installed, I believe there is a broadcast message to the system saying that. Is it possible to capture that broadcast message?
