1 2 Android ScreenCapture Sample 3 =================================== 4 5 This sample demonstrates how to use Media Projection API to capture device screen in real time and 6 show it on a SurfaceView. 7 8 Introduction 9 ------------ 10 11 Media Projection API lets you capture the current screen through Surface. 12 13 To start media projection, you need to get an instance of [MediaProjection][1]. For this, you have 14 to call startActivityForResult with an Intent from 15 [MediaProjectionManager.createScreenCaptureIntent()][2]. This shows a confirmation dialog to the 16 user. When user confirms it, you will get a result code and data in onActivityResult, so pass those 17 to [getMediaProjection][3]. 18 19 Once you get a MediaProjection, use [createVirtualDisplay][4] and bind it to a Surface. 20 21 [1]: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/projection/MediaProjection.html 22 [2]: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/projection/MediaProjectionManager.html#createScreenCaptureIntent() 23 [3]: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/projection/MediaProjectionManager.html#getMediaProjection(int, android.content.Intent) 24 [4]: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/projection/MediaProjection.html#createVirtualDisplay(java.lang.String, int, int, int, int, android.view.Surface, android.hardware.display.VirtualDisplay.Callback, android.os.Handler) 25 26 Pre-requisites 27 -------------- 28 29 - Android SDK 24 30 - Android Build Tools v24.0.1 31 - Android Support Repository 32 33 Screenshots 34 ------------- 35 36 <img src="screenshots/main.png" height="400" alt="Screenshot"/> 37 38 Getting Started 39 --------------- 40 41 This sample uses the Gradle build system.
