Capturing videos of applications on an Android

Mar 28, 2013

Boy am I stuck!  We have and application that runs on an Android. I want to do two things:

1.  I want to create a a screen recording using Storyline or Camtasia or even Captivate.  How do I run the Android on my PC so that I can use one of these tools? 

2. When teaching a live class, I want to run Android on my PC so I can ALT TAB to other PC apps and then back to what we are seeing on the Android.

Anyone have any ideas?

Help!!

Maria, there are some screen/video recording tools available on the Google Play Store, here is one example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ms.screencastfree&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5tcy5zY3JlZW5jYXN0ZnJlZSJd. The problem is that all of these tools require a rooted device and that's something you may not want to do. Another option may be to use the simulator that is part of the Android Software Development Kit. And finally, you may want to check out the Droid@Screen tool, I had blogged about it a while ago, the post and a sample recording is here: http://wp.me/p2BoUf-2e
