Action: Take Screenshot

Post by Rm. » 02 May 2013 09:22

Required action: Take Screenshot

Options: Save to File / Save to Clipboard

Description: It would be nice to have new action to take screenshot into file or clipboard. I know it can be done using screencap command, but this might need root permissions.

Example flow:
1) Trigger: shake device
2) Action: take screenshot into file
3) Action: upload file somewhere
4) Action: set uploaded link into clipboard

Hi,

You can take a screenshot on many devices with an action Execute Root Command: screencap -p /storage/emulated/0/screenshot.png (also see DIY-Actions).
I'm not sure if I will add it as a built-in action since it's an unofficial feature and might not work on all devices.

Regards,
Martin
