Android

  • Include this in your AndroidManifest.xml:
<provider
android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="network.chaintech.cmp.screenshot.fileprovider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="@xml/file_paths" />
</provider>
  • Create file_paths.xml in androidMain->res->xml and add the following code:
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<files-path
name="screen_shots"
path="share_images" />
<external-path

class AppActivity : ComponentActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
...
AppContext.apply { set(this@AppActivity) }
...
}
}

Explanation

  • modifier: Modifier for modifying the layout of the screen capture component.
  • screenCaptureController: Controller for managing the screen capture functionality.
  • shareImage: Boolean indicating whether the user intends to share the captured image.
  • onCaptured: Callback invoked when an image is successfully captured or when there's a failure during the capture process. It provides an ImageBitmap representing the captured image and a Throwable in case of any errors.
  • content: A composable function that defines the content to be displayed within the screen capture component. This could include buttons, text, or any other UI elements related to screen capture functionality.

Conclusion

ScreenCapture offers seamless screen capture functionality for Android and iOS apps, compatible with Compose Multiplatform, streamlining the process with intuitive usage and robust features.

Happy coding ❤
