I am trying to take a screenshot of my Augmented Reality Screen and pass it as a bitmap to another activity.
This is the code that I am using to take the screenshot:
Function to take screen shot
public static void tmpScreenshot(Bitmap bmp, Context context){
try {
//Write file
String filename = "bitmap.png";
FileOutputStream stream = context.openFileOutput(filename, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
//Cleanup
stream.close();
bmp.recycle();
//Pop intent
Intent in1 = new Intent(context, CostActivity.class);
in1.putExtra("image", filename);
context.startActivity(in1);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Function to receive screenshot
private void loadTmpBitmap() {
Bitmap bmp = null;
String filename = getIntent().getStringExtra("image");
try {
FileInputStream is = this.openFileInput(filename);
bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
ImageView imageView = findViewById(R.id.test);
imageView.setImageBitmap(Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bmp, 120, 120, false));
is.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Even though the Screenshot was taken, it was black when it is passed to another activity. In addition, the Screenshot only appeared after I pressed the back button
Can anyone help me with the code to take a screenshot with ARCore? Or what am I doing wrong?
It is not possible to take a screenshot of a SurfaceView using your method. If you do then the screenshot will be black, as it only works for regular views.
What you need to use is pixelcopy.
private void takePhoto() {
ArSceneView view = arFragment.getArSceneView();
// Create a bitmap the size of the scene view.
final Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(view.getWidth(), view.getHeight(),
Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
// Create a handler thread to offload the processing of the image.
final HandlerThread handlerThread = new HandlerThread("PixelCopier");
handlerThread.start();
// Make the request to copy.
PixelCopy.request(view, bitmap, (copyResult) -> {
if (copyResult == PixelCopy.SUCCESS) {
try {
saveBitmapToDisk(bitmap);
} catch (IOException e) {
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(VisualizerActivity.this, e.toString(),
Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.show();
return;
}
SnackbarUtility.showSnackbarTypeLong(settingsButton, "Screenshot saved in /Pictures/Screenshots");
} else {
SnackbarUtility.showSnackbarTypeLong(settingsButton, "Failed to take screenshot");
}
handlerThread.quitSafely();
}, new Handler(handlerThread.getLooper()));
}
public void saveBitmapToDisk(Bitmap bitmap) throws IOException {
// String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString() + "/Pictures/Screenshots/";
if (videoDirectory == null) {
videoDirectory =
new File(
Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES)
+ "/Screenshots");
}
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH.mm.ss");
String formattedDate = df.format(c.getTime());
File mediaFile = new File(videoDirectory, "FieldVisualizer"+formattedDate+".jpeg");
FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(mediaFile);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 70, fileOutputStream);
fileOutputStream.flush();
fileOutputStream.close();
}
