Can you give me some further explanation, because this is my first app and the save button is the only thing I need?
to take a screenshot and store it in ASD
to copy it to EDIT: shared storage, for example /Download use the Copy method from the file component

Thank you! This is the code to save it in the ASD right? How can I save it in the Gallery of the mobile phone or the files, so the user can access it anytime he wants?
As already mentioned

PS: see also the EDIT in my last answer
How can I do that? Can you show me the code, if that is not a problem? The code you wrote works but I didn't understand how the user can access the screenshot in his gallery or the files of his phone. What do you mean by:
Copy it to shared storage
? What is the shared storage and how can I copy the screenshot there, so that the user can find it?
Read this Some basics on Android storage system
and use the file component together with the Copy method
And if you got stuck, post a screenshot of your relevant blocks
Taifun
where in the device will the user be able to find the screenshot?
Well, we already talked about this several times meanwhile... the screenshot will be saved in ASD...
And if you take a look at Label2.Texf, there you get the complete path to the taken screenshot...
Example taken from the documentation at App Inventor Extensions: Take Screenshot | Pura Vida Apps
