Android fast screen capture - image or compressed image stream output

  • Android fast screen capture take a screenshot or compressed stream on any other Android device.
  • Not needed root devices.
  • ADB required (default run permissions using).
  • For best perfomance using OpenMP for Android.
  • Include all using system library, fake version (for Android 5.1.1 headers)
  • Default build tools: ndk-build, including Code::Blocks project using C::B NDK project template, NDK build auto configuration support.


Features

  • image output format: raw bitmap 24 bpp, include header.
  • video stream output format: raw compressed bitmap lz4 stream - 24 bpp, include header + packet header.
  • video stream is 5 - 20 fps, depends on the CPU device.
  • pack image by ratio: valid values 1-9 (lz4).
  • resize image by ratio: valid values 1-5.
  • rotate image: 90,180,270
  • mirror image.
  • SDL2 Texture output compatible mode: Landscape screen.
  • save image to location specified (bmp format).
  • default save path: /data/local/tmp/AScreenCap.bmp

Run time statistic, milliseconds:

        5 ms. - load and initialization
   40-151 ms. - capture screen - android::ScreenshotClient(), depends on the CPU device   
       40 ms. - image convert, resize and rotate
      196 ms. - maximal total time

Stream/Image compressed - header format using

Packet stream include no pack header, size 160bit uint32[5], after image compressed body:

  • octet 0 - unique identifier BMZ1 (0x315a4d42/828001602).
  • octet 1 - size to uncompressed image.
  • octet 2 - size to compressed image.
  • octet 3 - image width.
  • octet 4 - image height.

Installing pre-build

Download binary for you device from dist/ directory:

Building details:

Android 5.x - 7.x | armeabi-v7a | arm64-v8a | x86 | x86_64

Application platform: android-21
Android system AOSP library version compatible: 5.1.1 - 7.x.x
NDK build version: r20-beta2

Android 8.x | armeabi-v7a | arm64-v8a | x86 | x86_64

Using ADB to send binary to device:

  adb push dist/<my platform>/ascreencap /data/local/tmp/
  adb shell chmod 0777 /data/local/tmp/ascreencap

Using

Command line options:

-f	--file		: output save to file, value is name
-s	--stream	: output to loop stream (STDOUT)
	--stdout	: output to STDOUT
-p	--pack		: output pack lz4 algorithm, valid value 1-9
	--sdl		: output SDL2 Texture compatible mode: Landscape screen
	--ratio 	: image resize ratio, valid scale 1-5
	--rotate	: image rotate: 90,180,270, value 360 = mirror
-h	--help		: this help screen

Example run:

   adb exec-out /data/local/tmp/ascreencap -f /data/local/tmp/my.bmp
   adb exec-out /data/local/tmp/ascreencap -f /data/local/tmp/my.bmz // << save lz4 compressed image
   adb exec-out /data/local/tmp/ascreencap --rotate 90 --ratio 2
   adb exec-out /data/local/tmp/ascreencap --rotate 360 // << mirror image :)
   adb exec-out /data/local/tmp/ascreencap --stream

Example using SDL2 output format

Run:

adb exec-out /data/local/tmp/ascreencap --stream --sdl --ratio 2 | my-capture-prog.executable

Part of code my-capture-prog.executable

    /// check data header valid
    uint32_t *id = 'data from ascreencap';
    if (*id != 0x315a4d42)
        return;

    /// begin SDL2 Create Texture
    uint32_t *width  = 'data from ascreencap' + (sizeof(uint32_t) * 3);
    uint32_t *height = 'data from ascreencap' + (sizeof(uint32_t) * 4);

    SDL_Texture *texture = SDL_CreateTexture(
                renderer,

                SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_STREAMING,
                *width,
                *height
            );

    /// ...

    /// get uncompressed size from header
    uint32_t *psize = 'data from ascreencap' + sizeof(uint32_t);
    /// offset data = first 160bit uint32[5] data header from ascreencap
    uint32_t offset = sizeof(uint32_t) * 5;
    /// uncompress data from ascreencap, using lz4
    uint8_t *uncompressdata = ...lz4('data from ascreencap' + offset)
    
    void *pix = nullptr;
    int32_t pitch = 0;
    
    SDL_LockTexture(texture, nullptr, &pix, &pitch);
    if ((!pix) || (!pitch))
        return;
	
    ::memcpy(pix, uncompressdata, *psize);

    SDL_UnlockTexture(texture);
