Android Question How to capture the android device screen content

How to capture the android device screen content and make an image file using the snapshot data?
also can we use this library for this task

android-screenshot-library

It is not possible to take screenshots programmatically (of other apps). This library allows you to take a screenshot only after the device was connected with ADB. It will not be useful for normal users.

i there is any way to make screenshot utility app

A screenshot app requires ROOT devices, and some might not even work properly on some devices.

I use the Android SDK utility 'ddms.bat' located at (default directory):

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools"

Connect your device to your computer with a USB and the program has a screen capture option.
You will need to get drivers for your device.

This is not different from what you can get with the screenshot menu of the B4A IDE.

That is correct, to take a screenshot using the IDE you must be using USB.
