Hi,

Is there any way to capture the screen on S60 device(Nokia N73) using j2me code?

Thanks

Hi ezhil01,

you cannot really "capture" the screen content in Java ME. Anyway, if you're using Canvas displayables, you can use an intermediate Image object to store the current display content.

If you was meaning capturing the screen of other applications from your Java ME MIDlet, then no: this can't be done.

Hi,

Thanks for ur reply...

My idea was to capture the screen and send the image to server. Its something like Remote Display of the device on the server.

Well, as told in previous reply, if your application is Canvas-based, you could manually implement such a mechanism. Note that sending a continuous stream of Images could be quite network data-intensive, but you can surely do some tests and find out the optimal solution for your needs.

I think it's possible by using Nokia extensions(DirectGraphics.getPixels()).

ezhil01, note that the answers above are only about copying the screens of your application. You cannot capture the screen when your MIDlet is not on the foreground (so capture screen shots of other applications)
