am having a service which run almost everything for my app. I want it to have a button that can take screenshot of the phone (not screenshot of my app).
I searched on many source but they alway use getRootView(), which cant be done in a service.
Is there another way to take screenshot, or some how way to use getRootView() in a service?

  • try to bind the service with activity then you can achieve what you want!
