Following be steps to take screenshot from the device or emulator. 1. $ sdb shell # xwd -root -out /tmp/screen.xwd # exit 2. Copy screen.xwd file to your local system. 3. Install gimp-2.8.4-setup tool 4. Open screen.xwd file and export the opened file change the file type to jpg or png. 5. Your image file is ready.

You can also use convert tool for easy conversion. $ convert screen.xwd -resize 50% screen.png refer http://seoz.egloos.com/3940763

Use xwd tool to make a screen shot. # xwd -root -out {file}.xwd ex) # xwd -root -out /tmp/screen.xwd And convert it to whatever format you want. $ convert screen.xwd -resize 50% screen.png Please refer the following blog. http://seoz.egloos.com/3940763 I should translate this into English but you will have some idea from that page. Or use google translate.

http://www.online-convert.com/ I've found an online web site that can successfuly convert the xwd file to png. The image magick (convert.exe) tool is failing under win32 on these files. (crash).

on Win32 you can also use GIMP.
Developer

Yes. you can use GIMP on Windows, MacOS and Linux. It is crossplatform tool

There is no xwd executable on Samsung Gear2, so if you got another idea you'll save my day.

Thanks, Uwe

Marco Buettner

The emulator has a build-in function for screenshots.. Rightclick -> Advanced -> Screenshot ;)

Uwe Hollatz

Ah yes, I've fount it :)

I am in lucky situation not to need to employ the emulator since I got a real and registeed Gear device. So it would be more comfortable to me to just make screenshots from the device itself. I got an iOS background, the Organizer of Xcode is easy to utilzie for screenhots.

Anyway, once the emulator is up and running, making screenshots is easy enough.

Cheers!

Hello,

Currently there is no way to make a screenshot of the Gear2 device

Tell me plz What do i do wrong and how found the screen.xwd file?

Daniel Juyung Seo

Hi it looks like you didn't get errors while calling "xwd".

# xwd -root -out /tmp/screen.xwd
 

Please check /tmp directory. There will be screen.xwd file.

Thanks.

Kilim A

:)

 One question.

Where  and how find this tmp folder?

Sorry, if something wrong in the question
 

Daniel Juyung Seo

What do you mean by find?

You can just connect to your device by sdb shell and change directory.

$ sdb shell

# cd /tmp

That's it.

 

If you want to copy the file from your device to your host pc, just do sdb pull in your host pc.

$ sdb pull /tmp/screen.xwd

daniel kim

Hi,

You can easily find tmp folder from your device in connection explorer in the IDE.

But in my case, device can't find the xwd after I run this command in the shell. 

    # xwd -root -out /tmp/screen.xwd

Kilim A

O, yes, simply   i must change folder view mode and then you see your screen.xwd
