How to get a screenshot in Android?

Mikeeeeee

This piece of code doesn't work either. I put in my code that converts QScreen to QByteArray. QByteArray is empty.

QQuickWindow* currentWindow = qobject_cast<QQuickWindow*>(QGuiApplication::focusWindow());
//    if(!currentWindow)
//        return;
     QScreen* screen = currentWindow->screen();

Mikeeeeee

This all code

QQuickWindow* currentWindow = qobject_cast<QQuickWindow*>(QGuiApplication::focusWindow());

// if(!currentWindow)
// return;
QScreen* screen = currentWindow->screen();
// if(!screen)
// return;
//QRect screenGeometry = fullScreen ? screen->geometry() : currentWindow->geometry();
/* QRect screenGeometry = fullScreen ? screen->geometry() : currentWindow->geometry();
auto pm = screen->grabWindow(0, screenGeometry.x(), screenGeometry.y(), screenGeometry.width(), screenGeometry.height());

QByteArray bArray;
QBuffer buffer(&bArray);
buffer.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly);
pm.save(&buffer, "PNG");*/



QImage myScreen;
//QPixmap pic = QPixmap::grabWindow(QWidget::winId(),0,0,50,50);
//qDebug()<<QWidget::winId();

// QScreen *screen = QGuiApplication::primaryScreen();
QPixmap pixamp;
pixamp = screen->grabWindow(0);
myScreen = pixamp.toImage();
//myScreen = QPixmap::grabWindow();
//myScreen = quickView->grabWindow();
//myScreen.save("C:\Users\New Owner\Downloads\i.png");
QByteArray bArray;
QBuffer buffer(&bArray);
buffer.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly);
//myScreen.save(&buffer, "JPEG");
//QString image("data:image/jpg;base64,");
myScreen.save(&buffer, "PNG");
QString image("data:image/png;base64,");
image.append(QString::fromLatin1(bArray.toBase64().data()));
qDebug()<<"screenShot:"<<image;
return image;

Mikeeeeee

Maybe you can use it?

foreach(QObject* obj, engine.rootObjects()) {
QQuickWindow* window = qobject_cast<QQuickWindow*>(obj);
if (window) {
QImage image = window->grabWindow();
qDebug() << image;
}
}

mrjj

is the image valid then ?
like
qDebug() << image.isNull();
says false ?

Mikeeeeee

qDebug()<<"screenShot:"<<image;
return:
"screenShot: "data:image/png;base64,""

Mikeeeeee

@mrjj said in How to get a screenshot in Android?:

qDebug() << image.isNull();

qDebug() <<"image.isNull() :" << image.isNull();
return:
image.isNull() : false

mrjj

@mikeeeeee
Ok, that means its does grab something :)

Mikeeeeee

But how to get a picture out of it?

mrjj

@mikeeeeee
Cant you just save it ?
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qimage.html#save

Mikeeeeee

We've made a mistake. I immediately ask the text QString image("data:image/png;base64,"); And so, pictures of the there is no. Need another code.

Mikeeeeee

qDebug() <<"image.isNull() :" << image.isNull()<<"screen->size() :"<<screen->size();
return
image.isNull() : false screen->size() : QSize(360, 640)

mrjj

@mikeeeeee
Im really not sure what you are saying. :)
That code work for others it seemed

What Qt version are you using?

Mikeeeeee

Could the screen be incorrectly processed?

Mikeeeeee

I use Qt 5.13

Mikeeeeee

my initial code worked in Windows, but it doesn't work in Android.

Hi
Not all android devices can take shot of QML. Need support in openGL driver.

Hmm. your Qt version seems new enough.
if you google "qt qml grabwindow bug" you can see there been quite some issues but
it should work with new Qt versions.

How type of android device are you using ? I mena is it old or kinda new ?

Mikeeeeee

I use Android 5,6,9

mrjj

@mikeeeeee
Well if possible you can try on another android device to see if same happens.

Mikeeeeee

I use 3 android device

Mikeeeeee

Does this code work on your phone? And if it works, what version of the code?
