I need to make the screenshot of the screen of my device even if my application is in the background. I tried with the following code, but I just get the screenshot of the screen of my app even if it is in the background.

View rootview = v.getRootView();
rootview.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
Bitmap bmp = rootview.getDrawingCache();

Do you have any method or library to suggest?

There are several apps that allow you to make the screenshot of the screen, so I thought it was a feature possible! – user1169390 Jan 30 '14 at 15:25
Yes, I have seen apps which takes the screenshot of the current screen. Try the different methods present in [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2661536/how-to-programatically-take-a-screenshot-on-android) link.. – Harish Talanki Jan 30 '14 at 15:30
You can take a screenshot of your own application but fortunately not of others apps. – nbe_42 Jan 30 '14 at 15:49
