I'm trying to create button that would make screenshot and save it to gallery in my android app, but, I just cannot find any working code and always get some error. Does anyone know about working appcelerator code for getting screenshots? Right now my code is looking like this which is not working.

    $.btnScreen.addEventListener("click",function(e){
  Ti.Media.takeScreenshot(function(){
    var image = imgView.toBlob();
f =Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Titanium.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory,"blog_image.jpg");
f.write(image);
});

This code gives me an error: imgView is not defined. I'm also getting error that gallery cannot be created when I tried different code.

I need code for appcelerator. – user3281831 Aug 29 '16 at 20:47
Alright, does this snippet help you? `Ti.Media.takeScreenshot(function(e){ Ti.Media.saveToPhotoGallery(e.media); });` – qantik Aug 29 '16 at 20:52
With this code:$.btnScreen.addEventListener("click",function(){ Ti.Media.takeScreenshot(function(e){ Ti.Media.saveToPhotoGallery(e.media); }); }); Im getting error: Failed to create application gallery directory. – user3281831 Aug 29 '16 at 21:06
Does it work now with your new code? – qantik Aug 29 '16 at 21:08
no getting error Failed to create application gallery directory. – user3281831 Aug 29 '16 at 21:10
That's super weird... – qantik Aug 29 '16 at 21:13
Do you have write permissions to your external storage? – Prashant Saini Aug 30 '16 at 09:22
I have added it to tiapp.xml in like this: `code` `code` but still getting: Failed to create application gallery directory. – user3281831 Aug 30 '16 at 17:28
Which version of Android are you testing on and what is the Titanium SDK version you are using? – Soumya Aug 30 '16 at 18:40
android 6.0, SDK is 5.3.1.GA – user3281831 Aug 30 '16 at 18:58
Ok im finally getting screenshots after giving permission to my app by hand in my device. For some reason, the app has permissions denied by default in my device. Is there a way how to change this in appcelerator? I cannot release my app if users had first to change permissions in settings. – user3281831 Aug 30 '16 at 19:15
