How get fast pixel color on Android use ScreenshotClient?


I want get color pixel use an binary file with params x and y. The screencap is very slow. Using a virtual display also does not give the desired result.

I found and code screencap, and good project: sji-android-screen-capture-old and sji-android-screen-capture-new.

But those solutions don't run in my phone. If run get-raw-image.cpp after compile get-raw-image.cpp I get errors:

WARNING: linker: /data/local/tmp/get-raw-image-4.1.2: unused DT entry: type 0xf arg 0x21d
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE: cannot locate symbol "_ZN7android16ScreenshotClient6updateERKNS_2spINS_7IBinderEEE".

For compilation, I use the following settings:

/root/arm/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-clang -pie get-raw-image.cpp -lsupc++ libgui.so -o /get-raw-image-4.1.2 -Xlinker -rpath=/system/lib -DTARGET_JB

If run Android-fast-screen-capture:

/root/arm/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-clang -pie /screen/ascreencap.cpp -o /test -std=c++11

I had errors:

Also I found the question how-to-use-screenshotclient-in-my-android-application but I don't understand how set link to ScreenshotClient, so that the compiler does not return an error.

My phone is Homtom HT16:

Processor   : ARMv7 Processor rev 3 (v7l)
processor   : 0
model name  : ARMv7 Processor rev 3 (v7l)
BogoMIPS    : 26.00

Maybe someone will tell you how to compile the code under my phone or which way to go to solve the problem.


Solution

  • I solved my problem.

    Steps:

    1) Copy need library from android phone (libgui.so, libui.so, libcutils.so, libutils.so, libbinder.so).

    2) Add in sys_root (when save ndk lib code files from Android Android 6_r1 libs: utils, cutils, system, log, hardware, system, ports, core, include/gui, include/ui, include/binder). You can run this code for find your system root:

    echo "#include <bogus.h> int main(){}" > t.c; GCC_OR_CLANG_BINARY_LINK -v t.c; rm t.c
    

    Erors printed all paths where compiler search include files. or use --sysroot=YOUR_PATH for set your path.

    3) Add flags -Wl,--unresolved-symbols=ignore-all for ignore errors and --target=armv7-none-linux-androideabi23 (23 or other) for set target version.

    Full my clang command:

    /Users/macbookair/Documents/test/bin/clang -fPIE -pie fast-screen-capture.cpp *.so -o ./screencap --target=armv7-none-linux-androideabi23 -Wl,--unresolved-symbols=ignore-all -s
    

    Successes!
