Hi! what I need to to is when the user of the app presses a button, it takes a screenshot of the screen and saves it to their device. It would be useful if it could only capture a certain part of the screen, but that is not a nessacery function.

Hi! How do I save the screenshot in the gallery of my phone?

There is no special path to "Gallery". There are only pictures / images that are shown there.

5

Save it in shared storage and use the GalleryRefresh method from the tools extension
