Why can't I take screenshots in Android Emulator after installing Genymotion?

Question

I've installed Genyomtion android emulator. Then I realized I can't take screenshots in Eclipse DDMS view. After that, I tried to take a screenshot with standard android emulator that comes with the SDK. It didn't work. Eclipse shows me a black image instead of screenshot. It worked before I installed Genymotion! It's suspicious that Genymotion hacked my ADB, because screenshot taking is part of PAID version of GenyMotion!

Has anyone experienced the same problem? How can I get Eclipse taking screenshots again without reinstalling it?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

It's a known bug on 4.3 images, they are working on a fix. On a 4.2.2 image it's working for me, you can try to create a 4.2.2 device to take screenshot in the meantime.

Answer 2

I have just used Genymotion and Eclipse DDMS today to take a screenshot for an app store submission.

So it works on at least these versions on my Win8 Pro machine:

• Genymotion v1.1.0
• Android 4.2.2 10" image
• Eclipse ADT v22.0.1

Edit: so 4.2.2 is why mine worked - thanks Bonrry
