How to screenshot?

[ddodge68]

Is there a free app that will do screenshots of my rooted DX? I'm sure there is, but I'm not finding one, at the moment.

Thanks....

Drocap2, ShootMe, & Screenshot are ones that I find when I use the search bar in the Market.

I personally use ShootMe & have no issues. I know Drocap2 is probably the most popular though.

The SDK method still works on unrooted device....

Thats funny....

SDK is Short for Software Development Kit *
A programming package that enables a programmer to develop applications for a specific platform. Typically an SDK includes one or more APIs, programming tools, and documentation.

Why is screenshot ability not native? Sorry if this is a noob question but I am a noob. ;-)

Because the application would have to access a level of the systems rights granted by the API to read the data required for screen shot...

To clarify API...

API, an abbreviation of Application Program Interface, is a set of routines, protocols, and tools for building software applications. A good API makes it easier to develop a program by providing all the building blocks. A programmer then puts the blocks together to allow a app to do what is required.
