Comshot

Multiplatform library to take/capture screenshot/snapshot/picture/image of @Composables (and also Android Views).

⚠️⚠️ This is very experimental and tested only on Windows and Android. ⚠️⚠️
⚠️⚠️ It may not be suited for use in production code. ⚠️⚠️

Usage

implementation("ir.mahozad.multiplatform:comshot:0.3.0")

• Android (Composable)
  You need to pass your activity to captureToImage. Also, it should be called from the Main aka UI thread (see its KDoc for more information).

  @Composable
  fun Activity.MyComposable() {
      val activity = this
      var screenshot by remember { mutableStateOf<ImageBitmap?>(null) }
      val composable: @Composable () -> Unit = remember {
          @Composable {
              Row {
                  Text(text = "Hello")
                  Text(text = "Meow!")
              }
          }
      }
      // You can also render your composable simply like this:
      // composable()
      Column {
          Button(onClick = { screenshot = captureToImage(activity, composable) }) {
              Text(text = "Capture")
          }
          screenshot?.let {
              Image(
                  bitmap = it,
                  modifier = Modifier.width(200.dp),
                  contentDescription = null
              )
          }
      }
  }

• Android (View)

  val view = findViewById<TextView>(R.id.myTextView)
  val screenshot = captureToImage(view)
  // If you want Bitmap:
  val androidBitmap = screenshot.asAndroidBitmap()

• Other targets

  @Composable
  fun MyComposable() {
      var screenshot by remember { mutableStateOf<ImageBitmap?>(null) }
      val composable: @Composable () -> Unit = remember {
          @Composable {
              Row {
                  Text(text = "Hello")
                  Text(text = "Meow!")
              }
          }
      }
      // You can also render your composable simply like this:
      // composable()
      Column {
          Button(onClick = { screenshot = captureToImage(composable) }) {
              Text(text = "Capture")
          }
          screenshot?.let {
              Image(
                  bitmap = it,
                  modifier = Modifier.width(200.dp),
                  contentDescription = null
              )
          }
      }
  }
