Android - capture screen of phone as a movie

Question

Hello,

for the documentation of a project I would like to record the screen of my Nexus One as a movie or at least in form of a lot of images, which I can convert into a movie. Is that possible? Is there an app for it? For the moment I only know about this screen capture functions in the SDK's tool directory.

Answer 1

Do you need it from the device itself, or would from an emulator do? Here is a Nexus One Emulation Skin.

Here is information about the Dalvik Debug Monitor which claims to:

which provides port-forwarding services, screen capture on the device, thread and heap information on the device

(emphasis is mine) I am not an Android Developer, so I can't comment on the usefulness of the tool.

Answer 2

I've successfully used this to capture playback on the phone.

Answer 3

I've use two tools and both work well:

1. Androidscreencast fps 4-5
2. Droid@Screen fps 30

Answer 4

As far I know you can only record screen of an Android device from a PC.

You need to use a tool that will put the phone's screen onto PC. For this you can use Droid@Screen . I use this tool for presentation purposes. Than on PC you use whatever screen recording app.
