Title: taking screenshots
Post by: abcdef on May 27, 2015, 01:44:37 pm
Hi,

how do I create screenshots. By hitting the Power Button + Volume Down Key on my android. I always get "Screenshot cannot be created". With other apps this Key-combination works like a charm.

Best regards

The certain apps disables "taking screenshots" when you use them. "Screenshot Ultimate" or any other screenshot-er will not help you.

You need Xposed framework (so root at first) and this module: http://repo.xposed.info/module/fi.veetipaananen.android.disableflagsecure


But we are off topic. This is not right place where we can discuss about this problem. It is NOT related to this app.

If you've enabled Aqua's security / PIN code feature (app settings -> security), then the app will mark its windows as "secure", preventing their content from showing in Android's recent apps list. Makes sense, right?

Unfortunately, this also makes Android block screenshots.

I didn't know that AquaMail does it too. ;D Now I know.

Well, certainly.

What if someone views a message about some secret $100 BN deal -- and then "locks" the app with the PIN code -- you wouldn't want the message to clearly show in the "recent apps" list :)

Besides all the method meationed, I would like to tell that there are some program that can do the work and capture your screen for you. Since your operation on the phone fails, I believe this is a better way. No need to waste your time search for all these ways. Google Android Manager and you'll make it.
