export snapshot.

Post by Googie85 » Wed Jul 18, 2018 11:51 am

Hi Guys!

I am trying to store a screenshot on my Android device.

Code: Select all

   export snapshot from card "Main" at size 1536,2048 to file "test.png" as PNG    
when the line of code is executed me device "stops".

Am I doing it wrong?

Many Thanks,


Googie.

Hi Googie,

if you do not provide an absolute pathname, the engine presumes "the defaultfolder",
which is the folder containing the engine and that is NOT writable, so your script
generates an error and stops!

Do this:

Code: Select all

...
## The only folder on mobile where we have definitvely write permissions:
put specialfolderpath("documents") & "/test.png" into tFile
export snapshot from card "Main" at size 1536,2048 to file tFile as PNG    
...
Best

Klaus
