To take a screenshot on an XO-4 with Android: |
|||
Android has a keys combo for screenshots; press the hard volume down and power buttons at the same time, and hold them for a second. |
|||
* press the power button and then X game key and hold them for a second, then release, |
|||
* a sound is played, a flash of white covers the screen, and an animation of the screen image shrinks away, |
|||
* a message "Saving screenshot..." appears in the top left of the screen, |
|||
* the image is available in a file browser or Gallery app, |
|||
It won't work if the X game key is pressed before the power button. |
|||
On XO-4 the hard volume down is mapped as game button "X" on screen pad. So the screenshots combo are |
|||
"Power button" and "Game button X". |
|||
It won't work if the previous screenshot is still being saved. |
|||
(For further technical analysis, see <trac>12798</trac>. The X game key must be pressed within about a quarter of a second of the power button, and both must be held for about three quarters of a second.) |
|||
For old build which does not has Game button mapped as volume down, please following this alternative to take shot. |
|||
As a alternative there is a binary which can do the some thing via adb shell |
