I was reading these source code from android git, because I want to use a feature of Android Debug Bridge - screenshot. Most screenshot apps on market needs Root permission, which I don't like very much. http://code.google.com/p/android-screenshot-library/ After some googlings and researches, I found this small library that allows me to take screenshot without root permission. But at last I found out it needs user to install Android SDK, and install a native program onto device using adb tool from a computer. This is what I wanted, neither. So after reading this library's code I found out what it does is really simple, read from "/dev/graphics/fb0" and decode it. The key of this library is to have the "shell" user permission. After reading some of the code and docs on Android Debug Bridge's git, I found it is possible to communicate with the adbd (which runs on the device when "Application->Development->USB debug" is selected) through a socket interface. I tried it on a emulator and it works!! Unfortunately, most devices don't have that socket open. Instead, most devices listens on USB device instead of socket. Since I am some kind of a "C" noob, I am wondering if I am still able to communicate with the adbd daemon from a process that only has normal Android application permission and take a screenshot through that interface? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
