2 years ago Some ideas on how to accomplish this:
- Use https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/test/uiautomator/UiDevice#takeScreenshot(java.io.File,%20float,%20int)
- I would build this into a new, separate module. Something like
testify-fullscreenI think it's a good idea to be in a companion library because of the dependency on UiAutomator. That might not be desirable for most apps, so keeping the dependency separate would be nice. - I think this could be built off of https://github.com/Shopify/android-testify/issues/227. If the capture method could be provided by an external library, then this would work well with making this part of a companion library I did a little work on making Testify extensible here https://github.com/Shopify/android-testify/tree/227-extensible
- Some kind of extension method that sets the capture method like
fun ScreenshotRule<T>.setCaptureMethod(method: CaptureMethod)would be nice. - Should do some research into other fullscreen capture mechanisms. There may be something new I'm not aware of.
- The fullscreen capture should respect the diff algorithm (fuzzy matching) and exclusion regions. Excluding the status bar area could be very helpful, for example.

Not just the View or Window, but the entire screen including the navigation UI and status bar (dialogs, menus and popups too).
