Hello,
I have an LG G6 and for an unknown reason I cannot take a screenshot from the B4A IDE. When I click on Take Picture, the last screenshot taken from the previous device is displayed.
I have no issue to install the app or run it in Debug mode, just the screenshot does not work.

Take Screenshot work as expected with other devices.
What can it be? The smartphone is Android 6.0, with B4A 8.50

Thank you.
Dan

Are you connected with USB debug mode?

I'm mostly using B4A-Bridge which doesn't support this feature. However it is very simple to get screenshots or video captures with B4A-Bridge. Take a screenshot with the device built-in feature. Choose Tools - B4A-Bridge - File Explorer. The screenshots are available under Pictures\Screenshots.

I'm connected over USB. Screenshot works with one device, but with the other I get the last screenshot from the previously connected device.
I can install app and debug over USB without any issue. Just screenshot does not work. Device builtin feature is very difficult to be used because of the buttons located very close on the back of the device.
