Taking a video of the application in android

I understand that to take video of the application you need to have your phone rooted in android. What feature puts this restriction?
Workaround
I want to know how feasible this is? Take screenshots of the UI on regular intervals(very quick intervals) and convert those pictures into a video.
NOTE
By screenshot I mean the area of only my application's layout. I want to take rapid screenshots of the layout and then convert it into a video. If it is possible, when saving the current state of the layout in a bitmap, will it do so in a UI thread?

Solution

  • if you are trying to capture the current application activity you can use this code in a thread with a timer.

    RelativeLayout rl1 = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.relative_layout_1);
        View v1 = rl1.getRootView();
        v1.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
        bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(v1.getDrawingCache());
        v1.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);

    and you can make a video. refer This Link
