Is it possible to programmatically take a screenshot of the screen while in a different app by some kind of a gesture in android? I want my app to run in background and when the user makes a particular gesture, I want my app(running in background to take a screen shot to be sent somewhere). I also want this gesture to recognize nearby devices that has my app to be able to get the screen shot for manipulation. I am still learning android, and I am planning this as my project. Just wanted to know if this is possible.
Yes it is possible
check, there are many app on google play for this.

I am developing an app that locks the screen for some time, just like parental control apps do when the screen time runs out. However, I do not really know how they work. I suppose they don't use lockNow because there is that message that shows up telling you that the time has run out. I also don't think they use overlays, because the phone is supposed to detect the use of overlays. So does anybody know what kind of function is used? Also for my app I want to add a button that ends the screen lock, so I am looking for a suitable way to achieve that.
Does anybody know if there is a generic way to check if the screen is currently being presented, e.g. via Miracast, Chromecast or any other app?
My app runs in the background and shows notifications every now and then. I'd like to avoid that while the screen is visible to others.
I want to make app with which after running, within the app, I can see my phone screen and want to be able to draw or mark certain area. As I don't have much experience. Can anyone help?

I'm working on an application which contains a transparent screen and I need other applications such as Google Maps to run behind it, is there a way to run 2 apps simultaneously ?
Currently when I open my app all I see behind it is the menu displaying all opened apps, but can't figure out how to keep apps running behind mine.

Given the fact that other developers write those other applications, you have no reliable way to knowing exactly what the user can see through the transparent portion of your UI. That will vary based on device, version of the other app, etc.

What is visible through your transparent portion of your UI is whatever activity happens to be behind it.

The decision of what other apps do is up to the developers of those other apps, not you.

You are certainly welcome to start some activity (e.g., a map), and then some time later start some other activity (e.g., the one of yours with the transparent pane). What the other app does, when you do this, is up to the developers of the other app, not you.
