I'm trying to make a screenshot of an Archos 5 IT using DDMS (SDK 1.5 and 2.0) without success. The screenshot is awful with a lot of yellow. Do you have the same issue ? I would like to know if possible if this issue is due ti an SDK problem or an Archos problem.

I applied android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Wallpaper" to get the current wallpaper as the background of my application. 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? Is there the method to get the screenshot which includes the current wallpaper without DDMS when I apply android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Wallpaper"?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm currently developing a game for Android and I want to take screenshots of it.I did so using the DDMS tool in eclipse. However, most of the screenshots are a mix of two frames:The separating line is in different positions.This leads me to the conclusion that the screenshot is being made while the current frame is still being drawn.Is there a way to get the screencap in sync with the hardware?Are there other methods of making screenshots where this doesn't happen?

How does the Moto Droid X match up to the Archos 5 running Android? I've got the Droid and the Archos 5. But bought the Archos mainly as a mp3 player and book reader. My Droid is a great mp3 player but every time it is in my pocket the slider moves and I have to get it out slide the lock and hit play again. Very annoying. Also you get all the notices, such as emails, texts, calendar reminders, etc making thier alarms through the songs. This is why I searched out Archos as a media player. But it really isn't pocketable.
You can but it is large. The Droid X is larger then Droid (4.3 vs 3.7) but still a little smaller than Archos 5". I've done so much research for the last 2 weeks, I'm going silly trying to remember everything and what's what. So has anyone checked both these out and think they are pretty much the same thing only a little smaller screen? Just curious as I'm leaning towards returning Archos and going with Droid X. Hopefully at some time they will make an app that will shut off everything but phone calls while music player is playing.
I would like to start doing some Android development, and would like a cheap device to deploy apps to, just for testing and demo purposes. Is it possible to deploy apps to, for instance, an Archos 28? I don't know much about Android development yet, and haven't found a good answer to this question elsewhere.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if I can download apps from my computer and place them on my Archos 5 Internet Tablet since Archos made their own stupid market place with less apps.
View 2 Replies View Relatedmy app is working perfectly and playing its music in the 1.5 and 1.6 emulators, my ADP1, and for everyone in the Android Market (at least there were no complaints). The problem is that when the app is run on the ARCHOS 5 tabled, the MediaPlayer.create(Context context, int resid) method returns null. I guess there might be a problem with the ARCHOS' Android implementation, but did anyone experience the same problem? What might be a possible reason for the create method to return false? The docs don't say anything. I'm also using SoundPool in parallel with MediaPlayer if that's relevant.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an app which has a download size of about 7MB and an installed/ configured size of about 25MB. So far, I've been handling this by using the SD card for the baulk of the data. This works fine although the installation process is a little cumbersome. I notice the smallest of the Archos 5 tablets is 8GB.
Can someone confirm whether this is all part of the internal memory? In other words, can /data/data/com.mypackage fill this memory (potentially). If so, does this mean there is a good chance that getExternalStorageDirectory() will quite often return null? Because people will have less need to use an external SD card.
Today i got my new Arnova 10 G2 tablet and i want to know if there is a way to gain root access and if possible to get cwm or 4EXT recovery flashed......
View 3 Replies View RelatedHas anyone been able to do this? USB or Bluetooth DUN? I installed PDAnet on the phone but the Archos won't pair with the Droid. They're both running Android so I thought it might work. The archos has WiFi and bluetooth. I've tried WiFi-net sharing on my Touch Pro 2 but it won't recognize the network?
View 4 Replies View RelatedSomebody once asked on this list what the ARCHOS 5 Android tablet returns for Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(). The good news: it's not null. The interesting news: it's /storage. The second round of good news: this points to the bulk of the storage space -- on my 32GB flash, /storage is where 30GB of the space resides. The third round of good news: the value remains /storage even after you pop a micro SD card in. I was briefly worried that it might switch to /sdcard or something.
Really curious news: while Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() returns /storage, /sdcard does exist, and it does *not* point to the SD card. Rather, it and /storage seem to point to the same spot, perhaps via a symlink or hardlink. Upshot: while you should use Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), apps that hardwire "/sdcard" won't break when there's no SD card installed.
Somebody on this list asked a bit ago about whether the Archos 5 Android Internet Table supports the ANDROID_ID secure setting. The answer is yes but it's not a hex value, which is what the docs say is required. So, as long as you just care about it being a relatively short string (and not-null), you should be OK.

i have a requirement to place 2 overlapping image view inside a web view.the upper image view can be moved using trackball and the lower image view is static.now i want to capture the whole screen programmatically and save it as an image.i have referred this link but unable to get the solution.
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.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI 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?

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.

emulator ddms junits
I'd like to do step-by-step using eclipse-rcp, emulator and ddms.
I can see in DDMS perspective the thread of Helloworld example running.
I change perspective to debug and I set breakpoint, but the application doesn't stop.
Probably a stupid question with an obvious answer, but I can't figure it out by myself. Tutorial (http://source.android.com/source/using-eclipse.html) says to go to the root of the downloaded platform, and first start emulator (it starts successfully), and then run $ddms.
But when I'm trying to do so, it fails: ~/mydroid$ ddms No command 'ddms' found, did you mean: Command 'dkms' from package 'dkms' (main) Command 'xdms' from package 'xdms' (universe) Command 'dds' from package 'dds' (universe) ddms: command not found
