How to get src from android.widget.ImageView?

[mowshon]

Hi!

This is my code:

from com.dtmilano.android.viewclient import ViewClient

device, serialno = ViewClient.connectToDeviceOrExit()
vc = ViewClient(device, serialno)

item = vc.findViewById('com.viber.voip:id/photo')

I want to get src from viber user avatar. All viber avatar are cached in /sdcard/Android/data/com.viber.voip/files/User photos but how can I get the src directly from android.widget.ImageView ?

PS: writeImageToFile is not what I need, it will save with all trash like buttons and text, I need clean image.

@dtmilano can you help me with an advice?

First, you can try

$ dump --save-view-screenshots=/tmp

to see if there is an image that suits your needs.

@dtmilano thank you for fast reply!

But how can I extract and save image from android.widget.ImageView object with Python? I'm sure that this object has an image.

from com.dtmilano.android.viewclient import ViewClient

phone = ViewClient(*ViewClient.connectToDeviceOrExit())

phone.traverse()

Result:

So, I want to extract photo from this widget, but how?

android.widget.ImageView com.viber.voip:id/photo

To obtain the image of any View, that is, it doesn't have to be an ImageView, could be anything, you do:

   vc.findViewByIdOrRaise("com.android.vending:id/mic_button").writeImageToFile('/tmp/mic.png')

If the Views are overlapping then this image will be delimited by the bounds of the View you are obtaining the image, and as you mentioned it contains parts of the other Views.
