How can I take screenshot of selected area of phone-screen not by any program, but from code.

  1. I just recently did something similar to use for sharing with social media. Here is the code that allowed my screen shot to be stored on sd card and used later for whatever your needs are:




    // image naming and path to include sd card appending name you choose for file
    String mPath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString() + "/" + ACCUWX.IMAGE_APPEND;

    // create bitmap screen capture
    Bitmap bitmap;
    View v1 = mCurrentUrlMask.getRootView();
    v1.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
    bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(v1.getDrawingCache());
    v1.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);

    OutputStream fout = null;
    imageFile = new File(mPath);

    try {
    fout = new FileOutputStream(imageFile);
    bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, fout);
    fout.flush();
    fout.close();

    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
    }



    Then, when you need to access use something like this:

    Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(new File(mPath));

  2. All the programs which allow screenshots work only on rooted phones.

  3. FWIK, there's no provided API do do that at the moment.

  4. You can try to do something like this,

    Getting a bitmap cache from a layout or a view by doing something like
    First you gotta setDrawingCacheEnabled to a layout(a linearlayout or relativelayout, or a view)

    then

    Bitmap bm = layout.getDrawingCache()

    Then you do whatever you want with the bitmap. Either turning it into an image file, or send the bitmap's uri to somewhere else.

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
