How to take simulator screenshots for Android


How to take simulator screenshots for Android is a frequently asked question. There are many ways to do it, but I'd like to show you the easiest and quickest way for Windows and OS X.

I assume here, that you have already installed the Android SDK. If not, you can install it from https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Ok, now just start your simulator as usual. After your simulator is already up and running, go to the Android SDK folder/tools and start the monitor tool (or just search for monitor in the SDK folder).

In the Monitor tool, when you look at the toolbar you have a screenshot icon there. Click and voila, there you are!
