Starting with Android Studio 2.0 you can do it with the new emulator:

Just click 3 «Take Screenshot». Standard location is the desktop.

1. Select «More»
2. Under «Settings», specify the location for your screenshot
3. Take your screenshot

UPDATE 22/07/2020

If you use the emulator inside Android Studio which is possible since Android Studio 4.1 click here to save the screenshot in your standard location:

Click on the Monitor (DDMS Included) button on the toolbar — it looks like the Android bugdroid:

That will bring up the DDMS window. Select the emulator instance from the Devices tab on the left, and click on the camera button in the toolbar above it, next to the stop sign icon:

As seen in this post: Screenshot of the Nexus One from adb?, you can also take a screenshot using adb:

just click in photo icon for take screenshot in android emulator

In new emulator you can do it by pushing camera icon. By default it saved in desktop.

Window > Show View > Other. In the newly opened dialog box, under Android category, select Devices.

Now on the Devices panel, Click the button as shown in the Image and your screenshot is ready.

You can use ddms which has option to take screen shot. On DDMS -> Select Device -> Select Screen Capture

Edit AFIK its not possible but this scenario will solely depend emulator image. Device hotkey might work on some OS images. Try same key combination from emulator link.

If your emulator uses factory or same images then it should be possible. You can download factory images for your emulator. see available nexus images from this link also it is possible to download images from manufacturer site.

Alternatively you can take screen shot following way,

And later save this anywhere you like. This is not optimal solution and it will only print what you have inside your view.

Capture screenshot in GenyMotion

I am using Genymotion for running android application. Could any one tell me how to capture screen shot in Genymotion ?

If you are using Android Studio or Eclipse, you can just click the button «Screen Capture» in the Android DDMS:

You can use adb to get the screenshot from command line:

To make my life easier, I made an alias in .bash_profile:

Now I can type screenshot in Terminal and get a screenshot of currently running emulator in my Downloads directory.

Disclaimer : I’m part of the same company as the Genymotion team.

This feature is included in the product. It is one of the paid feature of the screencast widget. Look at the pricing page here.

Two ways to access it:

• pay for the pro or indie licence
• use the trial version, it offers you the indie features. Be careful, there is only one trial day left :-/

Once your VM is started, open the screencast widget

Then take a picture with the dedicated button

UPDATE: You have bellow another ways to take a screenshot using Android Device Monitor or the command line

Use this commands:

• Note: Make sure you have permission to write to C:\output.png ; otherwise, change it to whatever path you like.

Hit shortcut key describe below

You can find your screenshots at desktop

I think you can also take videos for free. Genymotion uses VirtualBox to do almost all the heavy lifting, so you should open VirtualBox and look at what you can do in it.

You will find options in Virtualbox to capture video!

adb shell screencap -p /sdcard/screen.png

If your Mac is slow and you hate running Eclipse and the emulator together here is a quicker way.

1. Export your apk.
2. Start Genymotion.
3. Drag the apk to the emulator, in order to install it.
4. Go to ‘android-sdk-macosx>tools>ddms’.
5. Run that file.
6. A new instance of ddms will be started. Unlike Eclipse, it doesn’t slow down your system.
7. Use the ‘Menu>Device>Screenshot’ option to take screenshot.

This is a good option for those using slow computers.

If you are using Eclipse, then follow the steps for any type of emulator: 1. Select DDMS 2. In Devices window of DDMS select Genymotion device 3. Click on Camera icon then save it to specific location.

For Linux and Windows (I used gitbash on windows) adb shell screencap -p | sed ‘s/\r$//’ > screen.png For Mac adb shell screencap -p | perl -pe ‘s/\x0D\x0A/\x0A/g’ > screen.png

@Reck says there’s a bug in the Genymotion implementation so we can’t take screenshots on 2.3.7. This means that Android Studio / DDMS can’t get the proper pixels. adb shell screencap says there’s no screencap command.

Assuming you have access to the code you can simply call this method:

The only limitation I know is that it won’t include the status bar.

if you use Mac, sometimes CMD + Shift + 4 (screenshot of a selected portion in OSX ) and then selecting the simulator region is enough 🙂

Take a screenshot

On many Android devices, you can capture a screenshot with a key-combination: Simultaneously press-and-hold Power and Volume-down. You can also capture a screenshot with Android Studio as follows:

Run your app on a connected device or emulator. If using a connected device, be sure you have enabled USB debugging. In Android Studio, select View > Tool Windows > Logcat to open Logcat. Select the device and a process from the drop-down at the top of the window. Click Screen Capture on the left side of the window. The screenshot appears in a Screenshot Editor window
