[iPhone SDK] Taking screen shot

[chrisc9867]

I know with the open toolchain, we could use the _dumpScreenContents function to take screen shots. However, this function does not seem to be available in the SDK. If anybody finds a way to do this with the SDK, please post it up!

Here's how I do it:

1. Open Grab

2. Take a screengrab, and specify to do it to a specific window

3. Click the Aspen Simulator window

4. Profit!

Thanks, but I am attempting to do it on the iPhone directally, not with the simulator. The software I am planning to make may require the need for the screenshot ability right off the iPhone.

Apple includes a CLI screenshot app for developer enabled iPhones... It will be located in /usr/bin on the iPhone and will be called "ScreenShotr"

Presumably you'd be able to call this app from your code.

Ah, I see. With your 1.2-Aspen iPhone, all you have to do is go to the Screenshots tab in XCode. Lucky bastard, I don't know anyone who actually had it legitimately...
