I would like to be able to capture a screen-shot of a page in my app while the user is looking at it, then send it to somebody with some additional text. Of the plug-ins that I am familiar with, I think that Email Image by GoNorthWest comes closest to what I want to do - I'd just need to have screen-grab as part of it. Any suggestions on how this could be done? Cheers, Alan

Additional text as in user added to the screenshot or email/facebook/sms body text

umm, screen shot as in press home and power button same time, then send from gallery?

@kittsy, yes, as in email/facebook/sms body text. @kaybee, sort of but done programmatically.

Pre typed text ?

Hmm, thinking. Pre-typed with ability to over-write would be good.

Ha. Kittsy can build that in his sleep. :-)

I just have done lol

What did you have in mind @kittsy?

I might have it released tonight, it will be a helper class as well as a plugin. Either way some code has to be added to make this look like it should 1. grab whole of screen, image 2. grab screen with the navbar and tab bar cropped out. 3. It will have a class method that can turn any view into an image and share (useful for other plugins) 4. return an image from a view (useful for other plugins) 5. with a bit of modding will let you add share information in control panel to prepopulate message fields. iOS only at the moment

Anyone want to knock up a quick icon for this, what the hell does a screen shot icon look like

It won't work in a tab bar yet it's 1 am and I need sleep.

Kittsy that was too easy for you, how about you challenge yourself a bit. I would like an option of a timer before it takes the pic, like 2 or 3 seconds... so that the user could action it then navigate to the screen to take a pic... Challenge accepted? Cheers mate :)

but why? why not tap the top nav bar or shake the app or something

Then you could have the snap screen shot in a settings like menu and you can take a pic of any screen in the app, using the one action point.

That sounds horrific but you could do that with this plugin. Add it to the screen menu. In the row menu tap add a cheeky if statement and set a timer delay for it to fire

Kittsy, I am mega-impressed. I bought it just now, will give it a try as soon as I can, I need to fit it in between the diy and the footy - I have to keep my footy app updated for the couple of days! Much appreciated, will give you feedback as soon as. Cheers, Alan PS @Kaybee, sorry to say I have to agree with kittsy on the timer idea.

It is about a week on and I have just used this in my current idea for an app. It took me a while as I had a few distractions, but I have to say, it is almost everything I could have thought of. The manual part of the installation isn't too hard and the functionality is great. It is simple and elegant. I am hoping it will be a good way to get users to market the app to their friends. I can only think of a couple of things to enhance it further: 1) To be able to configure the message title in the control panel. This would be good for an an email and for other message types that may not support titles, maybe concatenate the title to the body. 2) Is android support planned? 3) Are tab-bars coming? Many thanks Kittsy

The best compliment you can give a plugin developer is a 5 star rating in the plugin market.
