Android screenshot without navigation bars

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

    Hi guys,
    I have an issue I'm trying to solve with taking screenshots in Android.
    I'm trying to cover the transition from one frame to another by taking a screenshot of my loading screen, and then presenting it immediately at the start of the next frame so it looks like the level pre-loaded.
    My problem occurs on Android versions that use a navigation bar. There, the 'save screenshot' function of the Android object takes a screenshot of my game plus the navigation bars. When the image is then loaded into the next frame, it looks 'squashed' because it has extra height from the navigation bars being part of the screenshot.

    If possible, I want a way to take and present a screenshot image on Android that doesn't have the navigation bars so the transition works seamlessly.

    Any help appreciated,
    Kenneth Dunlop

    The loading screen before the transition:

    The image loaded into the next frame after the transition:

    Actually, I think using 'stretch to fill' might get rid of the black bars and top and bottom and make this work? I'll try it later when I get a go on the right device. My own device isn't getting this problem.
