Final Update
The feature request has been fulfilled by Google. Please see this answer below.
Original Question
Using the old version of the Google Maps Android API, I was able to capture a screenshot of the google map to share via social media. I used the following code to capture the screenshot and save the image to a file and it worked great:
public String captureScreen()
{
String storageState = Environment.getExternalStorageState();
Log.d("StorageState", "Storage state is: " + storageState);
// image naming and path to include sd card appending name you choose for file
String mPath = this.getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath();
// create bitmap screen capture
Bitmap bitmap;
View v1 = this.mapView.getRootView();
v1.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(v1.getDrawingCache());
v1.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);
OutputStream fout = null;
String filePath = System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpeg";
try
{
fout = openFileOutput(filePath,
MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
// Write the string to the file
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, fout);
fout.flush();
fout.close();
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e)
{
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
Log.d("ImageCapture", "FileNotFoundException");
Log.d("ImageCapture", e.getMessage());
filePath = "";
}
catch (IOException e)
{
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
Log.d("ImageCapture", "IOException");
Log.d("ImageCapture", e.getMessage());
filePath = "";
}
return filePath;
}
However, the new GoogleMap object used by V2 of the api does not have a "getRootView()" method like MapView does.
I tried to do this:
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.basicMap);
View v1 = mapFragment.getView();
But the screenshot that I get does not have any map content and looks like this:
Has anyone figured out how to take a screenshot of the new Google Maps Android API V2?
Update
I also tried to get the rootView this way:
View v1 = getWindow().getDecorView().getRootView();
This results in a screenshot that includes the action bar at the top of the screen, but the map is still blank like the screenshot I attached.
Update
A feature request has been submitted to Google. Please go star the feature request if this is something you want google to add in the future: Add screenshot ability to Google Maps API V2
Update - Google has added a snapshot method**!:
The feature request for a method to take a screen shot of the Android Google Map API V2 OpenGL layer has been fulfilled.
To take a screenshot, simply implement the following interface:
public abstract void onSnapshotReady (Bitmap snapshot)
and call:
public final void snapshot (GoogleMap.SnapshotReadyCallback callback)
Example that takes a screenshot, then presents the standard "Image Sharing" options:
public void captureScreen()
{
SnapshotReadyCallback callback = new SnapshotReadyCallback()
{
#Override
public void onSnapshotReady(Bitmap snapshot)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
bitmap = snapshot;
OutputStream fout = null;
String filePath = System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpeg";
try
{
fout = openFileOutput(filePath,
MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
// Write the string to the file
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, fout);
fout.flush();
fout.close();
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e)
{
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
Log.d("ImageCapture", "FileNotFoundException");
Log.d("ImageCapture", e.getMessage());
filePath = "";
}
catch (IOException e)
{
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
Log.d("ImageCapture", "IOException");
Log.d("ImageCapture", e.getMessage());
filePath = "";
}
openShareImageDialog(filePath);
}
};
mMap.snapshot(callback);
}
Once the image is finished being captured, it will trigger the standard "Share Image" dialog so the user can pick how they'd like to share it:
public void openShareImageDialog(String filePath)
{
File file = this.getFileStreamPath(filePath);
if(!filePath.equals(""))
{
final ContentValues values = new ContentValues(2);
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.MIME_TYPE, "image/jpeg");
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA, file.getAbsolutePath());
final Uri contentUriFile = getContentResolver().insert(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
final Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("image/jpeg");
intent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, contentUriFile);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share Image"));
}
else
{
//This is a custom class I use to show dialogs...simply replace this with whatever you want to show an error message, Toast, etc.
DialogUtilities.showOkDialogWithText(this, R.string.shareImageFailed);
}
}
Documentation is here
Below are the steps to capture screen shot of Google Map V2 with example
Step 1. open Android Sdk Manager (Window > Android Sdk Manager) then Expand Extras now update/install Google Play Services to Revision 10 ignore this step if already installed
Read Notes here https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/releases#august_2013
Step 2. Restart Eclipse
Step 3. import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap.SnapshotReadyCallback;
Step 4. Make Method to Capture/Store Screen/image of Map like below
public void CaptureMapScreen()
{
SnapshotReadyCallback callback = new SnapshotReadyCallback() {
Bitmap bitmap;
#Override
public void onSnapshotReady(Bitmap snapshot) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
bitmap = snapshot;
try {
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("/mnt/sdcard/"
+ "MyMapScreen" + System.currentTimeMillis()
+ ".png");
// above "/mnt ..... png" => is a storage path (where image will be stored) + name of image you can customize as per your Requirement
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, out);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
};
myMap.snapshot(callback);
// myMap is object of GoogleMap +> GoogleMap myMap;
// which is initialized in onCreate() =>
// myMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map_pass_home_call)).getMap();
}
Step 5. Now call this CaptureMapScreen() method where you want to capture the image
in my case i am calling this method on Button click in my onCreate() which is working fine
like:
Button btnCap = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnTakeScreenshot);
btnCap.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
try {
CaptureMapScreen();
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO: handle exception
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});

}
};map.snapshot (callback);
}
My output is below
Edit: this answer is no longer valid - the feature request for screenshots on Google Maps Android API V2 has been fulfilled. See this answer for an example.
Original Accepted Answer
Since the new Android API v2 Maps are displayed using OpenGL, there are no possibilities to create a screenshot.
Since the top voted answer doesnt work with polylines and other overlays on top of the map fragment (What I was looking for), I want to share this solution.
public void captureScreen()

GoogleMap.SnapshotReadyCallback callback = new GoogleMap.SnapshotReadyCallback()

Bitmap backBitmap = getWindow().getDecorView().findViewById(android.R.id.content).getDrawingCache();
Bitmap bmOverlay = Bitmap.createBitmap(
backBitmap.getWidth(), backBitmap.getHeight(),
backBitmap.getConfig());
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bmOverlay);
canvas.drawBitmap(snapshot, new Matrix(), null);
canvas.drawBitmap(backBitmap, 0, 0, null);
OutputStream fout = null;
String filePath = System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpeg";
try

I hope this would help to capture the screenshot of your map
Method call:
gmap.setOnMapLoadedCallback(mapLoadedCallback);
Method declaration:
final SnapshotReadyCallback snapReadyCallback = new SnapshotReadyCallback() {
Bitmap bitmap;
#Override
public void onSnapshotReady(Bitmap snapshot) {
bitmap = snapshot;
try {
//do something with your snapshot
imageview.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
};
GoogleMap.OnMapLoadedCallback mapLoadedCallback = new GoogleMap.OnMapLoadedCallback() {
#Override
public void onMapLoaded() {
gmap.snapshot(snapReadyCallback);
}
};
Eclipse DDMS can capture the screen even it's google map V2.
Try to call /system/bin/screencap or /system/bin/screenshot if you have the "root". I learned that from How Eclipse android DDMS implement "screen capture"

I am trying to snapshot the Google Map image AFTER I set the map to the bounds of the Polyline. I have used separate code samples found on StackExchange to do both the moveToBounds() and Snapshot which work fine individually, but when run in sequence the Snapshot is of the map image BEFORE the map was updated. I assume I need to insert a OnCameraChangeListener but I cannot make it work. Do I need to somehow nest Callbacks? Please advise.
public void mapCapture() {
moveToBounds(gpsTrackingPolyline);
mMap.snapshot(new GoogleMap.SnapshotReadyCallback() {
public void onSnapshotReady(Bitmap bitmap) {
// Write image to disk
try {
File bmpFile = new File(getApplicationContext().getExternalFilesDir(null), DEFAULT_BMP_FILENAME);
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(bmpFile);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, out);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
private void moveToBounds(Polyline p)
{
LatLngBounds.Builder builder = new LatLngBounds.Builder();
List<LatLng> arr = p.getPoints();
for(int i = 0; i < arr.size();i++){
builder.include(arr.get(i));
}
LatLngBounds bounds = builder.build();
int padding = 40; // offset from edges of the map in pixels
CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, padding);
mMap.animateCamera(cu);
}
Don't know if you have found solution or if you still need it. But still here it goes. Yes you need a callback which will let you know when map has finished animation. Do something like this:
mMap.animateCamera(cu, new GoogleMap.CancelableCallback() {
#Override
public void onFinish() {
//your code related to snapshot
mMap.snapshot(new GoogleMap.SnapshotReadyCallback() {
public void onSnapshotReady(Bitmap bitmap) {
// Write image to disk
//rest of your code
});
}
#Override
public void onCancel() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
});
I have Android application which interacts with Web Server. When data is sent from phone to server, there is a bit of work with data (10-20 secs) and after that I get result back to phone. And i display that result in dialog with 2 choices. One choice is "OK" and it means that user is fine with result and dismiss the dialog. The other choice makes a screenshot of that results. And when I press this button I don't get picture of dialog, i get picture of layout which is behind that dialog.
My code behind this is
//this method is called on onPostExecute of async task
public void recieveResult (final Activity act,String result){
new AlertDialog.Builder(act)
.setTitle("Data - status")
.setMessage(result)
.setNegativeButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
dialog.dismiss();
}
})
.setPositiveButton("Save picture", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
Bitmap bitmap = takeScreenshot(act);
saveBitmap(bitmap,act);
Toast.makeText(act,"Saved",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
dialog.dismiss();
}
})
.show();
}
public Bitmap takeScreenshot(Activity act) {
View rootView = act.findViewById(android.R.id.content).getRootView();
rootView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
return rootView.getDrawingCache();
}
public void saveBitmap(Bitmap bitmap,Activity act) {
String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("MMyyyydd_HHmmss").format(new Date());
String imageFileName = "/screenshot_"+timeStamp+"_.png";
File storage = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory("Screens");
if (!storage.exists())
{
Toast.makeText(act, "Directory made", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
storage.mkdirs();
}
File imagePath = new File(storage.getPath() + imageFileName);
FileOutputStream fos;
try {
fos = new FileOutputStream(imagePath);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fos);
fos.flush();
fos.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
Log.e("GREC", e.getMessage(), e);

My result of picture is just screen without dialog. How to get picture of dialog in it?
Try obtaining the Windows's decor view
then get its drawing cache bitmap as you implemented.
Dialog has it's own window ( different form activity's window ), you can use dialog.getWindow() method to get dialog's window.
so here is the screenshot code:
private AlertDialog dialog;
public void showDialog(View view) {
dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
.setTitle("Titel")
.setMessage("some content")
.setPositiveButton("Screenshot", (d, which) -> {
Bitmap bitmap = screenshot(dialog);
// you can save the bitmap or display in an ImageView
}).create();
dialog.show();
}
private Bitmap screenshot(Dialog dialog) {
Window window = dialog.getWindow();
View decorView = window.getDecorView();
Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(decorView.getWidth(), decorView.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
decorView.draw(new Canvas(bitmap));
return bitmap;
}
try this code
String picId=String.valueOf(nu);
String myfile="meter"+picId+".jpeg";
BitmapDrawable bitmapDrawable = null;
Toast.makeText(getActivity(),"success full store image gallery",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Date now = new Date();
android.text.format.DateFormat.format("yyyy-MM-dd_hh:mm:ss", now);
try {
File dir_image = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+//<---
File.separator+"SoundMeter"); //23-1-16 //<---
dir_image.mkdirs();
// image naming and path to include sd card appending name you choose for file
// String mPath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString() + "/" + now + ".jpg";
// create bitmap screen capture
View v1 = surfaceView.getRootView();
v1.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(v1.getDrawingCache());
/* bitmapDrawable = new BitmapDrawable(bitmap);*/
v1.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);
// File imageFile = new File(mPath); //file path 23-1-16
File imageFile = new File(dir_image,myfile);
FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(imageFile);
int quality = 100;
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, quality, outputStream);
outputStream.flush();
outputStream.close();
openScreenshot(imageFile);
} catch (Throwable e) {
// Several error may come out with file handling or OOM
e.printStackTrace();
}
btnCaptured1.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
btnCaptured.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
//btnCaptured.setBackgroundDrawable(bitmapDrawable);
}
});
}
else
{
Toast.makeText(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), "No Connection", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
I' m using Picasso to help the cache of images.
The question is, how can I access the downloaded image to make a share intent?
any ideas? thanks!
I hope you can understand my question :-)
Sorry for my delay, I found a solution, but, not a good one...
First, I really searched for a while and looked at the code of Picasso. It seems like you should provide your own downloader and other stuff. But then, why should I use the lib...
And then, I suppose it's Picasso's design / architecture to just cache the file in the internal storage. Maybe because the external storage is not always available (like the user may plug in his SD card to his computer), or maybe because the external storage is not as fast as the internal... That's my guess. In a word, other apps cannot access the internal storage of the current app, so the share cannot be done.
Thus, I made a really ordinary solution. I just wait for Picasso to give the Bitmap, and compress it to a file in the external file, then do the share. It seems like a bad solution, but it really solves the problem, yes...
You should be aware of whether the external cache directory is available or not. If not, you cannot do the share. And you need to put the compress task in a background thread, so, waiting the external file cached... Does it seem like a bad solution? I think so...
Below is my project code, you can have a try...
private boolean mSaved; // a flag, whether the image is saved in external storage
private MenuItem mShare;
private Intent mIntent;
private ShareActionProvider mShareActionProvider;
private File mImage; // the external image file would be saved...
private Target target = new Target() {
#Override
public void onBitmapLoaded(final Bitmap bitmap, Picasso.LoadedFrom from) {
new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
FileOutputStream os = null;
try {
String dir = CatnutUtils.mkdir(getActivity(), Constants.FANTASY_DIR); // check the exteral dir avaiable or not...
String[] paths = Uri.parse(mUrl).getPath().split("/");
mImage = new File(dir + File.separator + paths[2] + Constants.JPG); // resoleve the file name
} catch (Exception e) { // the external storage not available...
Log.e(TAG, "create dir error!", e);
return;
}
try {
if (mImage.length() > 10) { // > 0 means the file exists
// the file exists, done.
mIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(mImage));
mSaved = true;
return;
}
os = new FileOutputStream(mImage);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, os);
mIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(mImage));
mSaved = true;
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "io error!", e);
} finally {
if (os != null) {
try {
os.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "io closing error!", e);
}
}
}
}
}).start();
mFantasy.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
}
#Override
public void onBitmapFailed(Drawable errorDrawable) {
mFantasy.setImageDrawable(errorDrawable);
}
#Override
public void onPrepareLoad(Drawable placeHolderDrawable) {
if (placeHolderDrawable != null) {
mFantasy.setImageDrawable(placeHolderDrawable);
}
}
};
#Override
public void onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
mShare.setEnabled(mSaved);
}
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.fantasy, menu);
mShare = menu.findItem(R.id.action_share);
mShareActionProvider = (ShareActionProvider) mShare.getActionProvider();
mShare.setActionProvider(mShareActionProvider);
mShareActionProvider.setShareIntent(mIntent);
}
Finally, call Picasso.with(getActivity()).load(mUrl).into(target);
When the file is saved, the user can click the share menu do the share.
public static File getImageFile(Context context, String url)
{
final String CACHE_PATH = context.getCacheDir().getAbsolutePath() + "/picasso-cache/";
File[] files=new File(CACHE_PATH).listFiles();
for (File file:files)
{
String fname= file.getName();
if (fname.contains(".") && fname.substring(fname.lastIndexOf(".")).equals(".0"))
{
try
{
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
if (br.readLine().equals(url))
{
File imgfile= new File(CACHE_PATH + fname.replace(".0", ".1"));
if (imgfile.exists())
{
return imgfile;
}
}
}
catch (FileNotFoundException|IOException e)
{
}
}
}
return null;
}
I've just found out this guide with a very good solution.
https://guides.codepath.com/android/Sharing-Content-with-Intents
The code will be like this:
// Can be triggered by a view event such as a button press
public void onShareItem(View v) {
// Get access to bitmap image from view
ImageView ivImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.ivResult);
// Get access to the URI for the bitmap
Uri bmpUri = getLocalBitmapUri(ivImage);
if (bmpUri != null) {
// Construct a ShareIntent with link to image
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, bmpUri);
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
// Launch sharing dialog for image
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share Image"));
} else {
// ...sharing failed, handle error
}
}
// Returns the URI path to the Bitmap displayed in specified ImageView
public Uri getLocalBitmapUri(ImageView imageView) {
// Extract Bitmap from ImageView drawable
Drawable drawable = imageView.getDrawable();
Bitmap bmp = null;
if (drawable instanceof BitmapDrawable){
bmp = ((BitmapDrawable) imageView.getDrawable()).getBitmap();
} else {
return null;
}
// Store image to default external storage directory
Uri bmpUri = null;
try {
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS), "share_image_" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".png");
file.getParentFile().mkdirs();
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, out);
out.close();
bmpUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return bmpUri;
}
It basically consists in retrieving the bitmap from the imageview and saving it to a local temp file and then using it for sharing. I've tested it and it seems to work fine.

// Zoom in, animating the camera.

Thank you very mouch!
You have to call the Google maps snapshot method in a button listener because if you should take it too early, it will give you error bitmap width has to be larger than 0 or something like this.
Here is the code
private void button_listener() {
Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
SnapshotReadyCallback callback = new SnapshotReadyCallback() {
Bitmap bitmap;
#Override
public void onSnapshotReady(Bitmap snapshot) {
bitmap = snapshot;
try {
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("/mnt/sdcard/Download/TeleSensors.png");
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, out);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
};
map.snapshot(callback);
}
});
}
This one is better, it waits for your Map to be fully rendered, before taking the snapshot.
It was updated on 31-Oct-2013.
mMap.setOnMapLoadedCallback(new GoogleMap.OnMapLoadedCallback() {
public void onMapLoaded() {
mMap.snapshot(new GoogleMap.SnapshotReadyCallback() {
public void onSnapshotReady(Bitmap bitmap) {
// Write image to disk
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("/mnt/sdcard/map.png");
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, out);
}
});
}
});

Try for Kotlin Android like this when click on button to take google map snapshot:
val snapshotReadyCallback : GoogleMap.SnapshotReadyCallback = GoogleMap.SnapshotReadyCallback { selectedScreenShot ->
ivMapPreview.setImageBitmap(selectedScreenShot);
}
val onMapLoadedCallback : GoogleMap.OnMapLoadedCallback = GoogleMap.OnMapLoadedCallback {
mMap!!.snapshot(snapshotReadyCallback)
}
mMap!!.setOnMapLoadedCallback(onMapLoadedCallback)
Be successful.
I' ve tried the accepted answer but it didn't work then tried another approach that worked for me.
private void CaptureScreen() {
if(initMap()){
SnapshotReadyCallback callback = new SnapshotReadyCallback() {
Bitmap bitmap=null;
#Override
public void onSnapshotReady(Bitmap snapshot) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
bitmap = snapshot;
try {
saveImage(bitmap);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Image Saved", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private void saveImage(Bitmap bitmap) throws IOException{
ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 40, bytes);
File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator + "test.png");
f.createNewFile();
FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(f);
fo.write(bytes.toByteArray());
fo.close();
}
};
mMap.snapshot(callback);
}
else{
Toast.makeText(this, "Map is not Initialized yet", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return ;
}
}

public final void snapshot (GoogleMap.SnapshotReadyCallback callback)
Takes a snapshot of the map. You can use snapshots within your application when an interactive map would be difficult, or impossible,
to use. For example, images produced with the snapshot() method can be
used to display a thumbnail of the map in your app, or a snapshot in
the notification center.
I need to take snapshot of google map and save in local database. Please help me to take the snapshot of google map.
Thanks,

You can't make a print screen from inside your app unless the phone is rooted (don't have the code for that).
You can however make a print screen thru the emulator but that not the question here.
For the sake of completeness:
Emulator printscreen
You have to connect your phone via USB, go to Debug perspective in Eclipse, select the "Devices" tab, select your device in the list and click the "Screen Capture" icon.
You can see this library http://code.google.com/p/android-screenshot-library/ . It runs in background and can allow you to make screenshots without root.
Define function in button click event;
Button btnCap = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnTakeScreenshot);
btnCap.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
try {
CaptureMapScreen();
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO: handle exception
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
Here is a function CaptureMapScreen()
public void CaptureMapScreen()
{
SnapshotReadyCallback callback = new SnapshotReadyCallback() {
Bitmap bitmap;
#Override
public void onSnapshotReady(Bitmap snapshot) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
bitmap = snapshot;
try {
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("/mnt/sdcard/"
+ "MyMapScreen" + System.currentTimeMillis()
+ ".png");
// above "/mnt ..... png" => is a storage path (where image will be stored) + name of image you can customize as per your Requirement
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, out);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
};
myMap.snapshot(callback);
// myMap is object of GoogleMap +> GoogleMap myMap;
// which is initialized in onCreate() =>
// myMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map_pass_home_call)).getMap();
}
public void getSnapShot(){
GoogleMap.SnapshotReadyCallback callback=new GoogleMap.SnapshotReadyCallback() {
#Override
public void onSnapshotReady(Bitmap bitmap) {
}
};
google_Map.snapshot(callback);
}
