display.captureBounds
is good for saving the whole screen to the directory. But it usually saves the file with increase in last index. So it may be difficult to read them correctly. So I prefer display.save
. But it is not a straight way.
For doing this, you have to:
- First create a
localgroup
. - Then
add
the screen objects to that group. Return
the display group- Use
display.save
to save the entire group displayed. - Create mail option and add
attachment
image frombaseDirectory
- Call
mail Popup
I am giving a sample here:
-- creating the display group --
local localGroup = display.newGroup()
-- creating display objects and adding it to the group --
local bg = display.newRect(0,0,_w,_h)
bg.x = 160
bg.y = 240
bg:setFillColor(150)
localGroup:insert(bg)
local rect = display.newRect(0,0,50,50)
rect.x = 30+math.random(260)
rect.y = 30+math.random(420)
localGroup:insert(rect)
-- Then do as follows --
local function takePhoto_andSendMail()
-- take screen shot to baseDirectory --
local baseDir = system.DocumentsDirectory
display.save( localGroup, "myScreenshot.jpg", baseDir )
-- Create mail options --
local options =
{
to = { "krishnarajsalim@gmail.com",},
subject = "My Level",
body = "Add this...",
attachment =
{
{ baseDir=system.DocumentsDirectory, filename="myScreenshot.jpg", type="image" },
},
}
-- Send mail --
native.showPopup("mail", options)
end
rect:addEventListener("tap",takePhoto_andSendMail)
This will do it...
Keep coding........ :)
