As in my app we don't have any activity, Can we record screen in service ?

I had done something similar at some point, see

Hope it helps,

Thank you for you response, Can we also control it from notification?

mtsahakis commented 4 years ago

I would assume so, just start the service from the notification https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6422319/start-service-from-notification

Hmm, my code won't compile when I use PixelFormat.RGBA_8888. I have to change to ImageFormat, but then I get exceptions when image = mImageReader.acquireLatestImage();. I've been through all the comments in a SO post that you created, but it is still not working for me. I'd love it if you can take a look and give me a hand. Thanks!

It should compile as it is just a warning. I added a @SuppressLint("WrongConstant") annotation. If you look into the source code of ImageReader, it states

`* @param format The format of the Image that this reader will produce. This

So could be something wrong with the @Format annotation.
