Programmatic screencapture on mobile device

Question

I would like to implement some sort of remote assistance tool (like vnc) for Android. Is there the possibility to capture a screen programmatically on the device?

Answer 1

You can try the following library: http://code.google.com/p/android-screenshot-library/ Android Screenshot Library (ASL) enables to programmatically capture screenshots from Android devices without requirement of having root access privileges. Instead, ASL utilizes a native service running in the background, started via the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) once per device boot.
