basicscreenshot - AppShot

================================================================ This small sample illustrates how take programatic screen shots of your running app. It contains AppShot which is a helper class for doing this from e.g. QML:

What needs to be done:

• Add libscreen and libbbdevice (for ScreenSize class) libraries by right clicking you project and selecting add Configure -> "Add Library"
• Give the app permission to write to the shared files folder, add access_shared, to the bar-descriptor.xml
• Register the AppShot type to use it in qml before creating your qml document ex: qmlRegisterType < AppShot > ("com.appshot", 1, 0, "ScreenShot");
• Register the AppShot type to use it in qml before creating your qml document

C++

#include "appshot/appshot.h"

ApplicationUI::ApplicationUI(bb::cascades::Application *app) :
       QObject(app)
{
   // Always register custom types before you create your qml document
   qmlRegisterType < AppShot > ("com.appshot", 1, 0, "AppShot");

   // Create document, root control and set screne
   QmlDocument *qml = QmlDocument::create("asset:///main.qml").parent(this);
   AbstractPane *root = qml->createRootObject<AbstractPane>();
   app->setScene(root);
}

QML

import bb.cascades 1.0
import com.appshot 1.0

Page {
  Container {
      Button {
          text: "App Shot"
          onClicked: {
              appShot.captureScreen("test.jpg")
          }

      }
  }

  attachedObjects: AppShot {
      id: appShot
  }
}
