What kind of unusual things are you seeing in Photos?

Unusual things occur when viewing that image in the Photos app….

Although its a bit blurry when it takes the picture, this has been the only code I have found that actually works!

The blurred UILabels may be from the iOS library not handling the scaling of elements correctly when you resize. Have you tried just scaling the image outside of the app? Unfortunately I don’t have too many ideas of solutions for this (aside from a good ol’ Google search). If you do find out what’s causing the issue please add that in the comments.

However, I’m not familiar with how you would string them together to make a video though inside the Android SDK (I know there are external apps that’ll do it but nothing I’m aware of that will do it inside another app, a Google search may help here). If you figure out a solution definitely let me know!

Can we take successive screenshots and compose a video out of it?
If possible please let me know. I will let you know if I succeed.

This snippet was focused on capturing programmatically generated UI rather than including the camera.

I try to capture the screen, but it only captures the objects, not what the camera shows.
Thanks.
