It seems pretty simple in the course I'm doing but every time I do it my screenshot doesn't save anywhere.Ive even searched all other files, and nothing. Does anyone have an answer and please be brutal if its something real stupid as I'm very new to this. Thanks in advanced for any assistance.

In iOS, if your asking about the simulator: Open the "Organizer" and look for the screenshot option. You should be able to drag-n-drop it from the organizer to your desktop. Android: Open Window > Show View > Other > Devices. Look for the screenshot icon. Comments iOS / Android? You're not the only one confused - happens to all of us!

I obtain screenshots direct from my Galaxy S2 using screengrabber but my phone is rooted and it requires root access to work. There are other apps available but I have never tried any of them There are also screen capture apps for iphone if you search Comments Never tried it on pc.

This will save a screenshot to your camera roll, then just email that to yourself.

I could have found all the same info in the Buzztouch website. Oh well.. Comments By the way dont ever do a course through E-careers learning centre. I think I've been scammed.
