Question Save image in VR Quest 2 - Screenshot cam

I need to take a picture from the game camera (screenshot) and save the image in VR.

Take a screenshot I got it in several ways.

The biggest problem is saving the image in VR.

A screenshot only appears when I run it in Unity game mode.

I did a test in Start() and passing a sprite just to try to save in VR based on this tutorial but without success:

What isnt working?
The screenshot itself or the saving it locally?

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/ScreenCapture.CaptureScreenshotIntoRenderTexture.html

If you want to save in a directory then maybe also enable external storage access in player settings?

 

Saving it locally wasn't working

In the previous script I'm trying to pass a sprite to Quest 2 for testing.

I changed, I will test

 

I solved the doubts. I made a different code.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class PictureCam : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public Camera eyedropperCamera;
8.  
9.     private Texture2D eyedropperTexture;
10.     private Rect eyeRect;
11.     private bool firstGetPixel = true;
12.     private RenderTexture eyedropperRenderTexture;
13.  
14.     public void Trigger1()
15.     {
16.         StartCoroutine(TriggerTimeX());
17.     }
18.  
19.     public IEnumerator TriggerTimeX()
20.     {
21.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(2);
22.         StartCoroutine(GetPixel(true));
23.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
24.         StartCoroutine(GetPixel(true));
25.     }
26.  
27.     public IEnumerator GetPixel(bool saveImage)
28.     {
29.         yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
30.  
31.         if (firstGetPixel)
32.         {
33.             firstGetPixel = false;
34.  
35.             eyedropperTexture = new Texture2D(Screen.width, Screen.height, TextureFormat.ARGB32, false);
36.             eyeRect = new Rect(0, 0, Screen.width, Screen.height);
37.  
38.             eyedropperRenderTexture = new RenderTexture(Screen.width, Screen.height, 24, RenderTextureFormat.ARGB32);
39.             eyedropperRenderTexture.Create();
40.  
41.             eyedropperCamera.targetTexture = eyedropperRenderTexture;
42.             eyedropperCamera.enabled = false;
43.         }
44.  
45.         RenderTexture currentRT = RenderTexture.active;
46.         try
47.         {
48.             RenderTexture.active = eyedropperCamera.targetTexture;
49.             eyedropperCamera.backgroundColor = eyedropperCamera.backgroundColor;
50.             eyedropperCamera.transform.position = eyedropperCamera.transform.position;
51.             eyedropperCamera.transform.rotation = eyedropperCamera.transform.rotation;
52.             eyedropperCamera.Render();
53.             eyedropperTexture.ReadPixels(new Rect(0, 0, eyedropperCamera.targetTexture.width, eyedropperCamera.targetTexture.height), 0, 0);
54.         }
55.         finally
56.         {
57.             RenderTexture.active = currentRT;
58.         }
59.  
60.         string name = "Screenshot_EpicApp" + System.DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss") + ".png";
61.  
62.         NativeGallery.SaveImageToGallery(eyedropperTexture, "Myapp pictures", name);
63.     }
64.  
65. }
66.
