Android Screenshot Application

[alfcen]

Hi there,
Is anyone aware of a screenshot application which dos NOT require a rooted phone?

Thanks a lot and my best wishes to the community for an abundant New Year!

The easiest way to get a screenshot to your PC is to use DDMS.bat which is probably in the tools folder (maybe platform tools for later SDKs) of your Android SDK. Run it, select the device in the top left pane and do Device -> Screen Capture. The rest is obvious.

DDMS can also show thread and memory use of your app but on a device the app needs marking as debuggable which means hacking the default manifest file in Basic4android. In the emulator all apps are automatically marked as debuggable.

It took some time, but finally I can make screen shots with DDMS.
The ADB files in SDK/Platform-Tools had to be copied to Tools.
Thanks a lot for your help.
