Capture screen on Xamarin.android get black screen - using Libvlc

Question

I am using LibVLCSharp to play video , and trying to capture the screen. I am getting black screen , like the surface-view cant be captured. tried many different capture methods , non of them works. api 23 android 6.

Any one have a solution/example please?

This sounds like you app might have the SecureFlag enabled to prevent you from capture screenshots. https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/WindowManager.LayoutParams.html#FLAG_SECURE double check that this isn't set — Andres Castro, Sep 09 '19 at 18:37
libvlc has its own snapshot feature. Would it be enough for your use case? — cube45, Sep 09 '19 at 20:41

OK so i managed to figure it out, i managed to use the libvlc takesnapshot method. Apparently it didn't work because of a bad filename i gave, so the image wasn't saved.
