Scrrenshot the entire screen by clicking

[Mies]

Hello I'm creating an app that has a person fill out info like there name, number, address, etc. and they are signing because its a waiver form. Now for some reason I still cant figure out a good way to save this info into my nexus 7 so I can easily view it later on the tablet or computer. So I thought hey why not just use a screen shot? I really just wanna see what they drove and there info with the signature so screenshot will work but I have no idea how to go about that? Here is what I have right now. Thank you for the help.

AI2 can not take a screen shot of the Android screen.   What AI2  can do is capture the contents of the Canvas.  Save a Canvas image and possibly use the Share component to eMail the image to yourself?    

Regards,

Steve

@Mies,

Since you have data entry form, Canvas will not help you. Also, as Steve mentioned, there is no screenshot feature. You can use Canvas to let user sign and then save the canvas (signature) image to a file.

Current Android phones take screenshots, and that's built into the OS.  See

Well  lol I know how to take screenshots with android (very tech savvy) but this tablet is going to be in customers hands and I can't be taking screenshots for them everytime haha so back to square 1. How would I save all that data so its readable later?

@Mies,

Why can't you just save data using storage components (e.g. TinyDB) and then recall everytime the app is started?

As mentioned previously, for signature, use canvas to allow signing and save the image path into TinyDB. Won't that work?

what you could do is to create a pdf document including the signature, however this is a little bit more complicated, but it can be done using an API and some basic HTML... 

see a possible solution here

I don't wanna recall the data because its gonna be names and addresses and phone numbers. The picture already saves to gallery when taken so thats good, it's just the data I need to be able to access on a computer so I can see what they drove and there info. I've tried everything but ill see if I can do that html and API. 

[Mies]

Is there possibly a way to send the data to an email and then transfer the data to lets say a excel spreadsheet?
