Capturing Screen in iPhone

[AppleSteve]

Hello.

I am new in iPhone. I am making an app which enables the user to capture the screen when the user press the Home Button of iPhone.
Please help me.

Waiting for early response.


Thanks In Advance

Why would you do that, when the you can already take a screen cap by pressing the home + sleep/wake buttons at the same time? Or are you perhaps working on a jailbroken device?

I am not making this app for jailbroken device. I want to make an application for it. Is it feasible and how??? Please guide me through this.


Thanks In Advance

   UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.view.bounds.size);
    [self.view.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
    UIImage *viewImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(viewImage, nil, nil, nil);
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

Use this code on any button click of your application and it will store the captured screen to the photo library.

Thank you Nikhil,

But my problem is still not solved...this code can capture the image of the application screen and what I want is the screen capture of default home screen of iPhone.

Please help.

Thanks In Advance

That can't be done without jailbreaking, as far as I know.

You can't do anything from the home screen. When the user is at the home screen, your app is not running.

You also can't do anything on pressing the home button, since that exits your app to the home screen. You do get a warning that you are being shifted to the background, so you might be able to take a quick screen-shot and save it to disk before you quit, but I'm not sure.

The app requires jailbreaking and private API's.
