Hallo, I'm trying to make a screenshots, without using Android SDK, with some app in tablet. I was trying to use three free apps from Market, but all of them make only a black screen files (just small files with no content, black screen). Do you know about some functional application for screensohot taking?

The SDK method is the only way to go for the moment as all screenshot apps use a framebuffer 'hack' which isn't possible on Tegra devices.

Another way of doing it is using a screencast on your PC. For instance, I use DroidExplorer. I hook my tablet to my PC, and then DroidExplorers' screencast function allows you to take control of your tablet on your PC. And then just a print screen and you've got your screenshot.

I did read somewhere that Google is adding a function into the coming Android versions which makes it a lot easier. I can't seem to find the source though.

Thanks for answers, sometimes I need make some screens (wifi measurement) when I'm away from PC or laptop. That's why I need app in tablet. OK, no big deal, I'll use my camera :]

Hi

I've tried using DroidExplorer but can't get it to detect my Vega, although I can open the Transfer Companion so it isn't a USB detection issue in the OS. Doesn't make any difference if I have debugging enabled or not - anyone have any ideas?

Cheers

Just found this thread and thanks for the tip on DroidExplorer. Works great. Took a while to work out how to use it properly before I found the screenshot, [little telephone], and screencast, [little android], icons.

Screenshot didn't work properly, excellent quality image but seemed to be adding a green or blue hew as the colours were wrong.

Screencast worked perfectly, get the screen on the PC, press SHIFT+Prt Sc and then paste the screen capture image into an image editor.

If anyone knows of an easier method than this now available, please let me know.

Thanks again.

You must have the ADB drivers installed for DroidExplorer. Search for YAUDIG.

I use screenshot from the market works really well with vega and has a 'shake phone for screenshot' which also works relly well!

Ddms from the android sdk does this too! I know he said without sdk, but so many people are posting other tools that run from a pc...

Can you give a link or the name of the author? I was trying a lot of apps called screenshot and none of them worked.
