Take a screenshot of RecyclerView in FULL length

Question

I want to get a \"full page\" screenshot of the activity. The view contains a RecyclerView with many items.

I can take a screenshot of the current view with this fun

Answer 1

I wrote a method to get a screenshot of a few different views:

private static Bitmap getBitmapFromView(View view) {
    if (view.getVisibility() != View.VISIBLE) {
        view = getNextView(view);
        Log.d(TAG, "New view id: " + view.getId());
    }
    //Define a bitmap with the same size as the view
    Bitmap returnedBitmap;
    if (view instanceof ScrollView) {
        returnedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(((ViewGroup) view).getChildAt(0).getWidth(), ((ViewGroup) view).getChildAt(0).getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
    } else if (view instanceof RecyclerView) {
        view.measure(
                View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(view.getWidth(), View.MeasureSpec.EXACTLY),
                View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));

        returnedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(view.getWidth(), view.getMeasuredHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
    } else {
        returnedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(view.getWidth(), view.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
    }

    //Bind a canvas to it
    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(returnedBitmap);
    //Get the view's background
    Drawable bgDrawable = view.getBackground();
    if (bgDrawable != null) {
        //has background drawable, then draw it on the canvas
        bgDrawable.draw(canvas);
    } else {
        //does not have background drawable, then draw white background on the canvas
        canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
    }
    // draw the view on the canvas
    view.draw(canvas);
    //return the bitmap
    return returnedBitmap;
}

/**
 * If the base view is not visible, then it has no width or height.
 * This causes a problem when we are creating a PDF based on its size.
 * This method gets the next visible View.
 *
 * @param view The invisible view
 * @return The next visible view after the given View, or the original view if there's no more
 * visible views.
 */
private static View getNextView(View view) {
    if (view.getParent() != null && (view.getParent() instanceof ViewGroup)) {
        ViewGroup group = (ViewGroup) view.getParent();
        View child;
        boolean getNext = false;
        //Iterate through all views from parent
        for (int i = 0; i < group.getChildCount(); i++) {
            child = group.getChildAt(i);
            if (getNext) {
                //Make sure the view is visible, else iterate again until we find a visible view
                if (child.getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE) {
                    Log.d(TAG, String.format(Locale.ENGLISH, "CHILD: %s : %s", child.getClass().getSimpleName(), child.getId()));
                    view = child;
                }
            }
            //Iterate until we find out current view,
            // then we want to get the NEXT view
            if (child.getId() == view.getId()) {
                getNext = true;
            }
        }
    }
    return view;
}
