Question

I know this probably might be the silliest question but still  I don t know how to take a screenshot of Emulator via Android Studio  I recently switched from Eclipse to Android Studio and I could not find it anywhere  I tried to search on web too but no help

Keeping the emulator on top of all other task on the desktop and pressing "Ctrl + S", also captures the screen shot and it is saved on default(if, not edited) path(i.e. C:\Users\username\Desktop).

Or

you can just click on the "Camera" icon highlighted in "green", which we have with the emulator.

Click on the Monitor  DDMS Included  button on the toolbar -- it looks like the Android bugdroid     That will bring up the DDMS window  Select the emulator instance from the Devices tab on the left  and click on the camera button in the toolbar above it  next to the stop sign icon     Note that if your emulator is running Android 4 4 or I think 4 3  then screen capture functionality is broken -- you ll have to use a physical device to get screenshots on those OS versions  It works okay for Android prior to 4 3  That bug is https   code google com p android issues detail id 62284
