Most of the time, when I want to capture screen shot of a debugging app, I will use the following button in DDMS.
However, I was wondering, is there any quick keyboard shortcut to do so, instead of using mouse? This is because in certain situation, I need a screen shot, where the app's UI component is being pressed. I already use up my only mouse to perform the pressed action. Hence, there isn't 2nd mouse for me to press the DDMS capture screen button. :)
I do not want to use Windows OS screen capture function. This is because I need an exact color code used in the app sometimes. Using Windows screen capture will not produce accurate image to represent the color used in the app.

I am making a simple app in which I want that when I press a button the brightness of the device is set to maximum and when I press it again it goes back to how it was before. but I can't find anywhere on the internet how to do this, I've been trying several ways and I can't get it to work.
I would like to take screen shot of my app and I would like to share that screen shot in mail,blue tooth,social medias etc.. I don't know how to perform screen shot and to share it how it can be done?
to include screenshot function your app, you need to grand superuser permission... In other words, third party apps can only take screenshot on rooted device, oru your app should be installed as a system app...
1.Start the app in Debug Mode.
2.click Android to open the Android DDMS tool window.
3. Click Screen Capture on the left side of the Android DDMS tool window.
4. Optional: To add a device frame around your screenshot, enable the Frame and take the screenshot option.
and Save It
You can even try printscreen or snipping tool in windows.. and edit the view as you want
The newly manufactures Android smartphones are already receiving very easy methods to take screenshot on them. So, you do not require any third party application or software for this purpose rather you will have to use the easy and reliable method to do so, which is also the time saving feature in this time-valued world.
So, I will share the easy method to take screenshot on Samsung Galaxy trend,
Method – Take Screenshot using Hardware Combination Method
STEP 1 – You will notice Power Key on the right side of the phone and Volume keys on the left hand side.
STEP 2 – Now press and hold the two keys for about 2 seconds.
Your screenshot will be taken and stored in the phone’s memory.
I have two questions that I can not answer to myself:
How can I change the size of my window, if I do not know the exact size of the phone screen? I.e. my aim is to fit all screen sizes.
Is there any difference between clicking with mouse and touching with fingers in the code? If I write code for clicking, will it work with touch?
On mobile, your app should automatically fill the phone screen. You don't need to worry about it. On desktop, you can use the --size=WxH option to test a specific screen size, or use the screen module (-m screen:nexus7 for example - run kivy with -m screen to see the available options).
No. All mouse/touchscreen interactions are considered touches in Kivy. So using on_touch_down/on_touch_move/on_touch_up will work regardless of the input device. The only difference is that with touchscreen you could have multi-touch - but if you write your app assuming single-touch it will work the same on both mobile and desktop.
I am having trouble using the "Screen Capture" function in Eclipse to capture an Android screen shot. I have the correct tab open, and when I click the screen capture icon, the box pops up and just stays on "Capturing..." but the display never changes from a white box with an X through it.
I have USB debugging turned on on the phone and I have the correct device selected in Eclipse..any other tips? Thanks!
Navigate to your android sdk install folder. Open the Tools folder and find DDMS. Run DDMS and use the Screen Capture option from the Device pull down menu. This is the native tool that Eclipse tries to use and it works better natively.
On the screen capture window, click done, then reopen the screen capture dialog. I have to go through this process every time I want screen caps, for some reason it doesn't connect to device on the first run.
This works for me, also when Logcat ceases to work: When I disable and re-enable the debug mode on the device, everything is working again.
The camera button on the android emulator is disabled.
I can't click on it and when I hover with the mouse the background is not blue like in the other buttons.
I've tried to add "camera support - true" hardware but the button is still un-clickable.
How can I click on the button?
What should happen when clicking on the button? I don't have an real android device so I might be able to click on the button without knowing it.
Thanks
try launching the camera from the menu. Still you won't be able to use it as a camera, it will just launch a bouncing box over a checkered pattern. If you want to test the camera you will need an actual device.
Although I have heard of someone having some instructions that will enable the emulator to use a webcam, I haven't tried this though, so I'm not sure if it works.
