https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spectrl.rec
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bugunsoft.displayrecorder

You can only do that if your phone is rooted, this is a library which you can use if your phone is already rooted.

Screen recording apps in most of the cases are "cheating". They just start a superuser process calling the default system screen recording module. This is the reason why they require superuser permissions

Next version will include a ScreenRecord function and other goodies

Man, you are on a roll, thanks for all this contributions.

 

[Periklis Koutsogiannis]

Always my pleasure! I love contributing whenever I can

B4A is my new playground and replaced my call of duty addiction.

..So we have to wait for an hour or so for the next version

 

[Periklis Koutsogiannis]

You got it!

I am currently refactoring the code. It will be the Swiss knife of rooting tools. You will be able to run any su command while waiting for the result (without blocking your app) and with the ability to cancel any long running task.

Wow, thats just awesome, an async command its really usefull, its going to be interactive? or the command will die after returning the first response?

Screen recording its a great function, are you planing to add support for screenshots and also video?

Thanks

Have you released the version with the recordscreen feature yet?

Thanks,
Walter

 

[Periklis Koutsogiannis]

Will do today. I am finalizing the event structure

It will wait until the process is finished and you will be able to manually cancel it.

Maybe

Periklis this is GREAT Library.
Thank you for your Great Job

Hi, Some time ago I had a problem using a remote console, It has 2 modes, Sync and Async. I had to execute a command that takes one minute to complete, so the Async method was used, the problem was that the process was killed after it sent the first response that was "Are you sure y/n?". so actually nothing was done

Then the app was updated to have an third option, AsyncInteractive, so the app could be like:

sub somesub()
  Shell.Mode = AsyncInteractive
  Shell.Execute("longcommand")
end sub
sub Root_Executed(Response as string)
  If Response = "Are you sure y/n?"
      Shell.Execute("y")
  else
      log("Command final response: " & Response)
      Shell.close
  end if
end sub

And also has propperty IsRunning.

Is this applicable to Android? If yes, it will be handy to have the AsyncInteractive mode

Thanks Periklis!

 

[Periklis Koutsogiannis]

Everything is nicely encapsulated, don't worry. I will upload the v2.0 soon!

 

[Periklis Koutsogiannis]

New library is almost ready. I will upload it soon.

Included: A fully functional screen recorder (captures audio as well) with sourcecode and a complete how-to tutorial that you can use it in your own projects or even make the next playstore screen recorder app hit!
