Android Question Can I capture the main android screen and put it a gif file?

[John Woodsmall]

I need to capture the main android screen and send it to someone. Is this possible?
if not what is screen capture for?

Not programmatically. It is not possible in Android to make a screen capture programmatically (except of a partial capture in your own app).

Teamviewer is Samsung only. As far as I know screen capture can be achieved with root permissions only. Samsung must have some special baked in exception/permission to grab the entire screen. I do not believe Google would allow any application to capture the device screen of any app.
