Re: [SailfishDevel] Is pragmatically taking a screenshot possible?
This is music to my ears. To my knowledge, this is something that ALL other OS's can't do (bar rooted Android phones!) Very excited with Sailfish OS's capabilities.

As mentioned in https://together.jolla.com/question/9670/api-security-model/ the current security model is QA, Unix permissions and general rep ;) And you can do it as user nemo so it *should* work. > For example, do you think this would work as a regular application on > end consumer devices?

It certainly does; there are 2 screenshot apps in the Harbour - check in 'utils' section David (Author of 'screenshot' ... with an update in QA right now) On 06/01/14 00:48, James Mugford wrote: > Great, this sounds hopeful. > > Do you know if there are there any permission issues surrounding this? > > For example, do you think this would work as a regular application on end > consumer devices? > > Best > > On 05/01/14 23:21, Thomas Tanghus wrote: >> On Sunday 05 January 2014 13:42 James Mugford wrote: >>> Is it technically possible to create an app that can take a screenshot >>> of the home screen or device viewport? >>> >>> It is for the purpose of creating something technologically similar to a >>> water screen saver. >> I've no big knowledge of the subject, but I guess the easiest approach is to >> use dbus to grab the screenshot. >> From the "grabscreen" script on the device, the cli command is something >> like: >> >> dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.nemomobile.lipstick \ >> /org/nemomobile/lipstick/screenshot >> org.nemomobile.lipstick.saveScreenshot string:"$filename" >> >> Where $filename is the file to save to.

Re: [SailfishDevel] Is pragmatically taking a screenshot possible?
Great, this sounds hopeful. Do you know if there are there any permission issues surrounding this? For example, do you think this would work as a regular application on end consumer devices?

It is for the purpose of creating something technologically similar to a water screen saver. I've no big knowledge of the subject, but I guess the easiest approach is to use dbus to grab the screenshot. From the "grabscreen" script on the device, the cli command is something like: dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.nemomobile.lipstick \ /org/nemomobile/lipstick/screenshot org.nemomobile.lipstick.saveScreenshot string:"$filename" Where $filename is the file to save to. Maybe other methods than saveScreenshot is available? I have no idea how to query for available methods. ___ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list

[SailfishDevel] Is pragmatically taking a screenshot possible?
Hi folks, Is it technically possible to create an app that can take a screenshot of the home screen or device viewport? It is for the purpose of creating something technologically similar to a water screen saver. It is possible in rooted Android phones, via the NDK, with /dev/graphics/fb0 . Tutorial here: http://www.pocketmagic.net/2010/11/android-native-screen-capture-application-using-the-framebuffer/#.UkVXCniZilM Any help appreciated. ___ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list
