I want to make a button that captures the screen
This is the code I have in the meantime:
export snapshot from rect the rect of this stack to file "/Users/XXX/Downloads/yourFileHere.png" as JPEG
The problem is I do not know how to make it send an email
Can someone help me?

Are you using mobileComposeMail? There are good examples in the dictionary...
As a suggestion it is always a good practice to share your code (and errors) when posting a question like this. It will help "helpers" to be able to help.

This is my code:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
// export snapshot from rect the rect of this stack to image "AuxImg" as JPEG
export snapshot from this cd to image "AuxImg" as PNG
// put img "AuxImg" into img "a" of cd "a"
// go card "a"
put image "AuxImg" into tAttachment ["data"]
put "image / jpg" into tAttachment ["type"]
put "my picture" into tAttachment ["name"]
mobileComposeMail "Imagem Capturada", ,,,, tAttachment
end mouseUp
The problem is that he gives this picture
And it's not the whole screen

Now it's better.
But still not the way I want
Attaches a screenshot of how it is now and how I want it to be
(The problem is that there is some black color up then you do not see the whole field of the version)

The first screenshot is from the desktop version, and the second from the phone, right?
Well, you can only screenshot what is displayed!
What fullscreenmode are you using for your app?

Did you mean that?

Yes.
Hm, "exactfit" should actually show everything?
Try "letterbox" and screenshot again.
But remember, if the screen looks ugly on the phone, the screenshot will look ugly, too!

Maybe you want to change the "hilitecolor" of your button "Button to a brighter color, so it looks a little less ugly.

In a few hours I'll try what you said (the phone is not with me now)
What is the original RGB of the button and background?

To me, it looks like the field isn't wide enough to show a longer date. "Tuesday" is shorter than "Wednesday" so Wednesday doesn't fit. The fix is to turn off the bold property and if that doesn't work then use a shorter date format. Mobile fonts are not the same as desktop fonts and will display differently.
Edit : I see you mean the bottom of the stack is cut off. Usually "showAll" works.
