Screenshot without security

Post by matalog »

A few apps I use, now have a way of not allowing my phone to take a screenshot, it doesn't work through even reading the screen to PC, when the apps knows a screen shot is possible it doesn;t produce the screen.

Is there a way around this at all with spider basic? To copy the full screen at any time and output an image?

Sainsbury's club card app does this if you want an example.

I don't really understand your request yet.
Are you looking for a way to bypass the screenshot prevention and the Sainsbury's Club Card app can do that?

yes he wants to prevent users to take screenshots liek for example you can prohibit printing using css
Spiderbasic do NOT support it native, you MAY do it, up to a point using cordova overlay module, but need deep searching

however its not really possible to prevent it , you can only block normal users
advance users will always ccould take screnshot :)

I want to take a screenshot of any app, wether it is 'secured' or not, and screenshot what I want to on my phone. Is there a way to do that?

You can prevent users from taking screenshots by using `addJavascriptInterface()`. Since SpiderBasic uses Cordova, you need to create a custom plugin using the "FLAG_SECURE" API.
