android: video capturing on device or emulator [closed]

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, 开发者_如何学Govisit the help center. Closed 10 years ago.

is it possible to capture what's going on in an android screen as video, either on the device itself or the emulator?

thanks!

You could use one of the many screencast webapps - I personally use http://screenr.com/ and http://www.screentoaster.com/ - they're both quite easy to use and work under win, osx and linux. Screentoaster support uploading to youtube too. It's possible to confine the recording area so that it just captures the emulator's display.

The only downside is that I haven't been able to find a screencast webapp that hides the mouse cursor.

Edit: Apparently ScreenR is osx and win only.

You can take screenshots via DDMS, but I belive to record video off the emulator you will have to use something else, I personally use Jing and then just edit the video. To take screenshots of a real device it needs to be rooted, im guessing video capture requires it too.
