Getting Screen as UIImage (XCode) [Solved]

Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out how to get a screenshot (don't need to save it, just store it in a variable) within xCode (not within Unity).

The img variable just returns a white screen, so I'm thinking the code below isn't accessing the right view / window.

Does anyone have any ideas how to get the screen as a UIImage within xCode?

Code (csharp):

1.         UIWindow *keyWindow = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow];
2.         CGRect rect = [keyWindow bounds];
3.         UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(rect.size);
4.         CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
5.         [keyWindow.layer renderInContext:context];
6.         UIImage *img = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
7.         UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

This code is from an old project so I'm not 100% sure that it will still work, but try:

Code (CSharp):

1. -(void)doScreenshot
2. {
3.     UIScreen *screen = [UIScreen mainScreen] ;
4.     UIWindow *keyWindow = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow];
5.     UIView *view = [screen snapshotViewAfterScreenUpdates:YES];
6.     UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(screen.bounds.size, NO, 0);
7.     [keyWindow drawViewHierarchyInRect:keyWindow.bounds afterScreenUpdates:YES];
8.     UIImage *image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
9.     UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
10.     NSData *data= UIImagePNGRepresentation(image);
11.     [data writeToFile:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/ScreenShot.png",[NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0]] atomically:YES];
12. }

 

Awesome that indeed works! Thanks a lot!

 

That's great, and no problem!
