This is actually a intentional move by the android team. It is a security issue to implement screen shots because any android app or service could immitate user actions and save the image. Imagine malware that took screenshots every time you logged onto your bank account.
- 2muchcoffeeman 15y agoThat doesn't even make sense. iOS has a hardware method for taking screen shots. You physically press the power and home buttons and a screenshot is taken and sent to your Photo album.
- wallflower 15y agoI would assume that the screenshot functionality would be implemented as an OS-level, highly protected service (one that <uses-permission> in the manifest would not be able to grant an app access to). Of course, if the phone is rooted, it's the Wild West and any app can potentially run the screenshot service.
