Take automated Screenshot

Question

I want to take automated screenshots of a android device every 10 seconds and then save them into a directory. I used this method but it doesn't work who can help me please!!!

Process sh = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
OutputStream  os = sh.getOutputStream();
os.write(("/system/bin/screencap -p /mnt/sdcard/img.png").getBytes("ASCII"));
os.flush();
os.close();
try {
    sh.waitFor();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

What does not work? Do you get any errors? In case the screenshot part does not work, see the duplicate. — Jeffrey Klardie, Dec 24 '13 at 10:36

Here is the library I didn't check It but title seems helpful https://code.google.com/p/android-screenshot-library and want to thanks @still_learning

This is how we can take screenshot using adb tool http://blog.shvetsov.com/2013/02/grab-android-screenshot-to-computer-via.html

adb shell screencap -p /sdcard/screen.png
adb pull /sdcard/screen.png
adb shell rm /sdcard/screen.png

Extra efforts: You need to do some programming.

For Windows: Make a .bat file or .cmd file that will execute at every 10 second and contains above code. for execution in every 10 second set the system scheduler.

For Linux : Make .sh file or .py file that contains above code (systax might be change in linux) and you need to find "how to schedule program execution in linux?".

The comments below your answer are not supposed to provide links to duplicate questions. And - whether you know it or not - Android does not provide any AWT classes (referring to your second link). – Tobias Dec 24 '13 at 10:48

Okay, okay, you've pasted enough links. *Perhaps* you should add them to the answer instead of posting more and more comments. – Tobias Dec 24 '13 at 10:56
