I'm thinking of creating a tutorial on how to use a mobile device - and the tutorial would be delivered through the phone.... so what I'd like to do is run Storyline 2 and Replay on my mobile device and create a screencast that shows me (my fingers!) interacting with the phone, showing people what they need to do to activate certain features on their mobile device.
A screenshot? I know you can take a still image on a Apple mobile device utilizing the Home+Power button. Not sure what that functionality is on an Android.
There are tools available for both iOS and Android to mirror a mobile device screen to a dektop which can then be recorded. Reflector is one of many tools. Of course you can, as Christopher suggested, take screenshots and then `stitch`them together in Storyline. I take screenshots on my Android device all the time. Finally, you can completely `fake`an app`s interface in Storyline, as shown here.

This may be different for other manufacturers, but on my Samsung Galaxy I have two options to take screenshots: 1.Press Power+Home and 2.Swipe your hand (not just a finger) across the screen.

Hi Christopher!
I'm not aware of a course to point you towards.
I would advise utilizing a 3rd party tool to put a mirror image of your phone on your computer screen to capture as you wish.
A free option you could utilize is Zoom and I'm sure there are others.
Hopefully someone will be able to chime in and assist.
Thanks. Do you know to create a screenshot of what's currently displayed on your mobile device?

Thanks Michael!
I have to go, may I send you a follow up question 2morrow?
Many thanks

Thanks Michael! I was totally drawing a blank and couldn't think of Reflector :)
Anytime Christopher.

Here is some info and an example of screen recording apps on an Android phone.
That's nice Michael! Thanks for popping back in to share some insight.
