Android Image Capture Tool

You use the Android Image Capture Tool to capture the static images that you inserted in your android application, such as PNG or JPG images used by ImageView. The tool collects all images that it finds under the "res" folder. When you start the tool, it automatically captures the images from the application.

Android Image Capture Tool details

The Android Image Capture Tool automatically collects the images in an android application into a folder called images. You do not need to exercise or run the application. The Android Image Capture tool extracts and creates proper file path mapping from your APK file, so that the metadata collected from the Android client library for images can be displayed properly.

Android Image Capture Tool software

The Android Image Capture Tool requires Ruby and Rake software. The tool uses the APK for your application to locate the application images.

Android Image Capture Tool files

The Android Image Capture Tool uniquely names the image files and places them in an images folder in the AndroidImageCaptureTool root folder. In the Images folder, the tool creates a res folder that contains sub-folders for the different image resolutions. Images are grouped by resolution.

Transfer the images to the replay server images folder

Once the archive is created, with either tool, the archive must be transferred to the replay server images folder. This folder is typically C:\Tealeaf\Replay Server\Images.

Whoever has access to the replay server can transfer the archive. It may be you, the portal administrator, or someone else, depending on your local practices.
