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.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
