The way to record your screen on Android 4.4 KitKat
=Free Screen Recorder Download=
With Android 4.4 KitKat having launched using the Nexus 5 we are still digging over the new features for developers and users alike. One of the features included in the latest Android mobile phone could be the capacity to record the screen of your respective device. This feature is meant for developers who would like to add charm to Play Store listings using a video walk-through of the app. On the other hand see pointless that developers needs to be the only ones to benefit from this awesome feature.
Before I dive into the best way to record the screen of one’s Android device, you must know currently the best to make use of this selection is through the Android Debug Bridge (ADB). The ADB is often a tool utilised by developers with the Android SDK to talk with a tool on the command line level. There’ll eventually be apps on the Play Store which make screen recording very simple to use, until then you will need to have ADB setup and become somewhat comfortable with it. Droid-Life has stated one such app in the Play Store, but I’ve yet to get it to function on my own Nexus 5. Your luck are vastly different.
OK, given that that’s dealt with. Launch in to the command line using your Android 4.4 device attached to your personal computer and enter in the command to record your screen:
adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/demo.mp4
You are able to further modify the speed where it captures video, how long it records (the default duration is 3-minutes) and the height and width of the playback quality in terms of resolution.
Another example of a command to record a relevant video could be:
adb shell screenrecord — bit-rate 8000000 — time-limit 30 /sdcard/kitkat.mp4
The above command would record at 8Mbps, rather than default 4Mbps, to get a amount of 30-seconds and reserve it towards the Sdcard in your device with all the name of KitKat. You will find a full listing of commands for screenrecord here around the Android Developer Site.
Should you want to present this a try but aren’t quite sure where to start with ADB, Android Central includes a helpful guide that makes it all sound and feel pretty easy.
