How Could we use the following file for capturing the screenshot. mydroid/development/tools/screenshot/src/com/android/screenshot/ screenshot.java In that JAVA File they have mentioned, Usage: screenshot2 [-d | -e | -s SERIAL] [-l] OUT_FILE How do we use this from the adb Command line. -It was not showing under the /data/data/com.__ If anybody has used that through command line.Please share your experience Thanks and Regards Prakash Vel On Aug 28, 11:46 am, Prakash Vel prakash...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for the Reply on how to go about trying on Command Line using the DDMS.Would dig into the framebufer_service.c for more clarity.

If you want to get the screenshot of emulator or device ( screen ) while running the emulator open the ddms located in tools directory of android sdk and choose device - screen capture you can do it for real device by connect it to the pc through usb cable and do the same I think this will help you. Thank you.
