Screenshot capability

It would be useful to be able to capture a screenshot using Lua code. [import]uid: 1560 topic_id: 2722 reply_id: 302722[/import]

@dotnaught

you mean

something like

  
 local baseDir = system.DocumentsDirectory  
 display.save( display.currentStage, "entireScreen.jpg", baseDir )  
  
 local im = display.newImage(basedir+"entireScreen.jpg",0,0);  
  

See :

Cool. Nevermind :slight_smile: [import]uid: 1560 topic_id: 2722 reply_id: 8109[/import]

Where does the actual jpg file end up? I’ve added

[lua]local baseDir = system.DocumentsDirectory
display.save( display.currentStage, “entireScreen.jpg”, baseDir )[/lua]

to my app but I’m not seeing entireScreen.jpg either on my device or in the simulator. [import]uid: 1560 topic_id: 2722 reply_id: 8260[/import]
