Creating Screenshots

For consistency of appearance, we use a virtual device with the following settings for taking screenshots.

• Name: Pixel 2
• Size: 1080x1920
• Density: 420 dpi
• API 31 "Android 12.0 (Google APIs)" - not "… (Google Play)"

Follow the System UI Demo Mode activation instructions:

adb shell settings put global sysui_demo_allowed 1     # only needed once
adb shell am broadcast -a com.android.systemui.demo -e command enter
adb shell am broadcast -a com.android.systemui.demo -e command clock -e hhmm 1200
adb shell am broadcast -a com.android.systemui.demo -e command network -e wifi show -e level 4
adb shell am broadcast -a com.android.systemui.demo -e command network -e mobile show -e level 4 -e datatype lte
adb shell am broadcast -a com.android.systemui.demo -e command battery -e level 100 -e plugged false
adb shell am broadcast -a com.android.systemui.demo -e command notifications -e visible false

To take a screenshot click the camera icon next to the emulator window.

Newer version of Android Studio prompt you for a location to save.

Otherwise the screenshot will be saved in a default location, which can be found in the settings (click the bottom "..." icon, then "Settings" -> "Screenshot Save Location")
