I have an Android presentation coming up and would like to get some screenshots of my application. Thing is, I'd like to have a screenshot of the phone with the app running on it.
I could use a camera and take a pic of a droid phone+app, but seems to me the AVD used to run inside a picture of the Nexus phone. Just wondering if it's an Eclipse config option somewhere?
Thanks!
Try using image editing software to superimpose the screenshot into an image of the phone. That's what the designers I work with do when they need to make PR screenshots.
run the DDMS from the location where ever you have installed the Android and then chose Device menu and screen capture
just do alt+printscreen from keyboard keep in mind AVD is focused you will get screen shot of AVD..

I am facing an issue with taking screen images (screenshot) in the Nexus 4 running android 5.0.1. I tried pressing the Power button + Volume Down simultaneously, however the volume starts to lower. This feature used to work for me before I had upgraded to 5.0.1. Anyone else is facing an issue this like?
I also wanted to know is there any way I can use the ADT to capture the screenshot? ADT SHELL screerecord can be used to capture the video similarly is there any way I can capture the screenshot?
Regards
about the first issue i haven't tried it,
about the second question if you used android studio
the 1st capture pic & 2nd capture videos
You can take a screenshot by following way
(under Window
--> Show View
--> Other...
--> Android
--> Devices).
Click on the device or emulator you want to take a screen shot of, then click the "Screen Capture" button . Occasionally the device won't immediately load the picture; sometimes you have to close/reopen the screen capture window.
This is equivalent to taking a picture via DDMS, but you can do it in Eclipse instead of opening another application.
I restarted my phone and the + started to take screenshot. This is weird!
But thanks sur007 & Samer. I wanted to know how to take via the studio :).
How can I create a Android screenshot from the smartphone itself and place a smartphone around like you can see it on this page: http://hskampus.de/?
You can make a screenshot by pressing volume down and power button at the same time.
Then you can use the Android Device Art Generator to generate the device around it.
Take a screenshot of the android screen, and then edit it into the smartphone picture, add some effect and you're done.
I've installed Android Studio in the Applications folder on my Mac (I think the sdk is then in the package content), but now I want to record my screen for a demonstration video of an app with AShot.jar, and I have to give up the path to the SDK. When I give the path I think is right, it says the path Applications/Android\ Studio.app/sdk is not valid.
What to do?
Are there other ways to record your android screen?
Connect your Device with your pc via usb.
Open android studio.Ensure that device is connected with adb.
Start click Screen Recording.
Screen Record can record the device display for a maximum of 3 minutes.
Note:
The Screen Record Works with Real Android Device and some Emulators.
If the button is in grey and un-clickable means that device not supports video capture.
The Screenshots from my system:
For those of us who need a "Complete Idiot's Guide" in order to find the elusive "Screen Record" button, here it is:
First, make sure you have LogCat open (Press F6, at least on OSx).
Then you might find that you still don't see any record button. Just hover on the tiny "overflow" arrow seen in the image below.
You should now see the record button, indicated in the image below.
Congratulations, if your device supports screen recording, just click the button and up will pop a dialog asking you to input resolution and bitrate (since this is an "Idiot's Guide", just skip those and click "Start Recording"!).
If you are using Android 4.4 or higher you can use adb:
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html#screenrecord
It can be found in the platform-tools folder under your sdk install folder.
This point may be helpful for some one else
All device do not support screen video recording with android studio. In this regard you can use emulator.
I have recently gotten a new android phone and it does not have root intill the 30 day warranty is up.my older android has root access but it is my sisters now.i use to use drocap

Android DDMS allow screen capture from an emulator.
Search for screen capture in the DDMS tool documentation .
I need to take screenshots of an android application running on an emulator in Eclipse Galileo.
Is there a built-in feature for this or do I have to download a plugin of some sorts?
You can take a screenshot if you open the Android view "devices" (under Window --> Show View --> Other... --> Android --> Devices). Click on the device or emulator you want to take a screen shot of, then click the "Screen Capture" button (it looks like a little picture, and it should be next to a stop sign button). Occasionally the device won't immediately load the picture; sometimes you have to close/reopen the screen capture window.
This is equivalent to taking a picture via DDMS, but you can do it in Eclipse instead of opening another application.
Screenshots on Android Devices using Eclipse, a Visual Guide
In the DDMS perspective in Eclipse there is a "Screen Capture" button. (Make sure you have your Android SDK and Eclipse plugin up to date, not sure this was always an option). Just press that button and a screenshot of whatever device you have DDMS connected to (either a real Android device or the emulator) will be created and opened in a new window where you can save it as a png.
You load the emulator with your app normally, through Eclipse, but you take the actual screenshot from DDMS, a tool that's included in your SDK, under the "tools" folder.
In DDMS, press Ctrl+S to take a screenshot.
1-open the DDMS prescriptive,the right click on mouse.
2-there click on export screenshot.
3-then it will show you option to save your file as .png file,with whatever name you like you may save it.
I just do a control print screen, which copies the image into the clipboard, then open MS Paint then do a control Z. Then you can crop and size it to your liking. Is this ok?
