imgpbcopy

Take screenshot of Android device and copy to clipboard.

Important!!!

The code imgpbcopy.m and imgpbpaste.m is from http://www.alecjacobson.com/weblog/?p=3816, big thanks to Alec.

Environment

Tested on MacOS 10.15.5 Catalina, only support MacOS now because the imgpbcopy are based on Apple libraries. Adb is required of cause.

How to use

1. compile the imgpbcopy and imgpbpaste

./build.sh

2. add to path

Add build folder to PATH or copy imgpbcopy and imgpbpaste to somewhere that are included in PATH

3. run the script

Connect to device via adb and run copyscr.sh, the screenshot will be copied to your clipboard. You can paste it to anywhere supports image data.

If you prefer shell alias, I've written one:

function screenshotAndCopy {
    adb shell mkdir /sdcard/tempscreenshots
    mkdir ~/develop
    mkdir ~/develop/devicescreenshots
    adb shell rm /sdcard/tempscreenshots/temp.png
    adb shell screencap -p /sdcard/tempscreenshots/temp.png
    rm ~/develop/devicescreenshots/temp.png
    adb pull /sdcard/tempscreenshots/temp.png ~/develop/devicescreenshots/temp.png
    imgpbcopy ~/develop/devicescreenshots/temp.png
}

alias cpscr=screenshotAndCopy

Paste above script to you .zshrc or .bashrc (according to your own environment), then you can use the command: cpscr.
