Screenshot of FriendCaller from Android

Our FriendCaller Android version is soon to be released, very exciting since FriendCaller can run as a service in the background so the Android Phone can be reached at any time through free VoIP calls. So it’s time to prepare some marketing materials.

Yesterday I was trying to find out how to take a screenshot on Android, and finally, I miss my iPhone, first time since I have been using my HTC Tattoo. I found some on the Android Market and also Googled to find a few apps, but on both the screenshot apps seemed to be outdated and no more download links were available.

Tobias, our Android developer saved my day:

1) Load down the Android SDK, unpack the ZIP file and find in the tools folder the DDMS program. Click to install DDMS. NO need to install the complete SDK.

2) On your phone, go to settings > applications > Development and enable USB debugging

3) Connect the phone to your PC and start DDMS, select your phone and select in the DDMS menu “Screen capture”

That’s all: WYSIWYG! (What you see is what you get!)
