I think it would be great if there was an option to change floating button click functionality that allow switching between taking a normal screenshot or selecting an area, similar to tile action setting that is currently available.

After finishing in the crop menu it open up my app called Sketch instead of just saving them.

It will show notification as normal but in fact it fails to take a screenshot. And I will get Error: Album null if I tap on the notification. There will be a black picture in album. My rom is Pie.

On LOS 14.1, long-pressing the screenshot option in the power menu allows taking a screenshot of only a chosen area of the screen (selected at that time). This would be a nice feature to have in this app (could be accessed in the long-press menu with the delay options) unless it would add too much complexity.

Two new things are coming to the app: a long text to explain how to app works, because I keep getting emails from people who don't understand it
And a new feature: a floating button much like a chat bubble that hovers over everything else and let's you take screenshots.

I was wondering if any of you @linsui @mezysinc @theCrazyblack would like to translate the new stuff again, when you have some spare time. I am still working on some technical details, but I have already uploaded the files with the strings.

I also added the project to crowdin:
https://crwd.in/screenshottile
You can use it instead of editing the xml files.

I'm probably going to add some sort of "hint" to the app, to attract other translators for the project and showcase your efforts as contributors.

UPDATED Triggering first five screenshots after boot (either from quick settings menu or widget) creates 100% empty shots (full resolution, not cropped).

But once the fifth screenshot is taken, everything works fine from now on, subsequent screenshots are then ok.

OS: Android 10
EMUI: 10.1.1

Should the delay also be applied to the floating button or should there be a separate delay

Though Accessiblilty Service is enabled, the app says it's disabled and doesn't work. 1.14.0 works.

Floating button always uses Native method (regardless of setting) for taking screenshots when floating button action is set to "Take a screenshot", but not when action "Select area" is set.

OS: Android 10
EMUI: 10.1.1

every time I take a screenshot, the app stops before the notification shows. it's annoying because to edit the screenshot, I need to open the camera after every screenshot and find the screenshot instead of just clicking the notification. I am using Android 7, rooted with magisk, has Xposed. Samsung note 5

FC when take screenshot on Android 11 (latest code):

I think randomzing name of screenshot would be great as usually screenshots contain date and time which can be removed to gain a little more privacy.

Cover all the screen with black, no ways to close, only hardware reboot, on Sony Xa2.

Since the upgrade to 1.14.1, a crash error message pops up instead of the app's notification to display the screenshot. However the screenshot file can be found at the expected location. There is no problem with 1.14.0. Both versions are from F-droid. This phone has Android 7.

Long press the home button to share your screenshots.

Getting a frequent notification..."processing screenshot. Tap to cancel", although have not used app in at least an hour. And can't remove this notification.

External storage installation was disabled because of

• #6

But the app size has grown significantly since then, so this needs to be reconsidered.

Check list:

• Tile does not disappear?
• AccessibilityService/floating button does not disappear?
• Widgets don't disappear?
• Assistant still works?

Should use windowManager.defaultDisplay.getRealMetrics(size) to get the physical screen size

When pressing tile/button from 'quick pulldown bar' it makes screenshots right away or in 'delay' that was set beforehand.

I'd be great to add option in configs (optional for whoever would prefer to activate this), that changes default behavior & goes right away to 'select area' after pressing 'tile/button' in quick menu.

Now in order to 'select area' you have to

1. long press
2. press 'select area' option
3. select area (with finger)
4. confirm
5. screenshot is taken

Adding new option in configurations with action that -- goes straight away to 'selecting area' -- (and maybe even making screenshot right away after finger was lifted off (without confirmation)

New behavior would be:

1. press tile
2. select area (with finger)
3. finger was lifted off, screenshot was taken

Toggle:
Select area right away

The app main activity is opened after a phone restart.

It occurs very rarely (on my devices). It happened once on my Android 10 after a power off and I have had one report from a user after a reboot.
I have not been able to reproduce it since, neither on my devices nor on the emulator.

Add option in settings to select a destination folder

App crashes when openning advanced settings: with No static field WEBP_LOSSY

Use if instead of when

The tile cannot be added on guest user accounts and notifications are not shown.

The app works great, but every time I restart my device, the tile disappears, and I must edit the quick setting tiles again in order to put the tile back on the quick settings menu.

I have specified custom storage location, but it still creates empty Pictures folder in internal shared storage without storing anything in it, every time I make a screenshot.

On my Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-9300), when I tried to take a screenshot, I've got the following error:

Failed to take screenshot, please try again
Could not acquire image
UnsupportedOperationException
This device is not supported.

The phone OS is LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1.2).
The app version is 1.17.0 (66), downloaded from the F-Droid site.
Is there any chances to make the Screenshot Tile work on this phone? Maybe installing some third party libraries, etc?
Thanks in advance!

Share/edit needs to grant a read/write "permission" to the receiving application

oh,I was setting the store in SD card.if I reboot my phone,that I can't store picture in the SD card.so there has a error message.but I forgot that.

Rename the file after the screenshot was taken, possibly from the notification

When I perform these sequences of events, the dialog disappears after on-screen rotation:

1. Go to the Main activity
2. Tap in More Settings
3. Tap in Floating button theme
4. A fragment similar to this will appear:

Before rotation:

5. Force the pause from the activity and then return to the activity (double rotation). Note that the fragment disappears.

Note: the pause from activity can be performed in several ways. We suggest using a double rotation (starts in portrait, goes to landscape, and back to portrait) with this function previously enabled in the smartphone.

The expected behavior is the return to the previous state with the fragments of the previous image.

However, the fragment disappears.

After rotation:

Hello,

I'm a highly impressed, but non-Coder user of you Application(ScreenshotTile).
But I'm(and might be many more) also very resource conscious despite having a z2_plus(4,64,SD820),
So i request you for a new Application if you agree.

Thank you;

…continued in next comment!

I'm not sure is this a correct behavior. The Cast icon won't disappear after screenshot. I'm using native method and I guess this icon should not appear.

When you already take the screenshot, you got directed to the edit section of the app where you can crop or add some drawing. You can see the example here :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jbs.util.takescreen&hl=en_US&gl=US

Its useful app . also sometimes instead of multiple screenshots one long shot would be great.

Hi @cvzi

I found this app on the Google Play Store. This guy just took your source code, added some ads in it and put it on the Store, without warning this is free software...

As you are the owner of the source code, feel free to open a request to google here to remove this copy from the Store, if it's your wish ;)

Don't forget to tell Google that:

• The app is licensed under GNU GPL v3 license and this guy is violating it;
• He is falsely claiming he made the app;
• Provide some screenshots of your own app.

Every second or third screenshot contains unwanted elements from dialogs. See attachments.

This is a convenient feature on some ROM but I'm not sure if this is possible for an app. Thanks anyway.

Dark theme for the app

I see there is no opacity settings in app, i think it should have it

Cou it be off afer screenshot?

When the option to Hide app icon from launcher is enabled, the icon remains visible in the launcher and clicking on it pops up a toast message stating App uninstalled..
