Hi at all,

and i trying to create a android app with this function but i using service module and i want capture other activity on phone
i have modify the function so:

Sub TakeScreenshot
    Log("TakeScreenshot activated")
       ' Take a screenshot.
     Dim c As Canvas
     Dim Obj1, Obj2 As Reflector
     Dim now As Long
     Dim dt As String
      Try
     
       DateTime.DateFormat = "yyMMddHHmmss"
       now = DateTime.now
       dt = DateTime.date(now) ' e.g.: "110812150355" is Aug.12, 2011, 3:03:55 p.m.
       Obj1.Target = Obj1.GetActivityBA
       Obj1.Target = Obj1.GetField("vg")
     
       c.Initialize2(bmp)
       Dim args(1) As Object
       Dim types(1) As String
       Obj2.Target = c
       Obj2.Target = Obj2.GetField("canvas")
       args(0) = Obj2.Target
       types(0) = "android.graphics.Canvas"
       Obj1.RunMethod4("draw", args, types)
       Dim Out As OutputStream
       Out = File.OpenOutput(File.DirRootExternal, dt & ".png", False)
       bmp.WriteToStream(Out, 100, "PNG")
       Out.close
       Catch
       Log(LastException.Message)
       End Try
End Sub

Sub Service_Create
bmp.InitializeMutable(480dip, 350dip)

.....
end sub

Sub Process_Globals
  Dim bmp As Bitmap
End sub

No. It is not possible in Android to take screenshots of other applications. The only way to do it is when the device is connected in USB debug mode.
