Pre-requisites

- Ensure you have set up the Android SDK. If you haven't done so already, use our guide entitled "How to install and set up the Android SDK"

- Ensure you have the correct ADB drivers installed for your phone (Windows)

The procedure

1. Ensure USB debugging is enabled on your phone (Settings>applications>development), and connect it to your computer

2. Locate the folder you unzipped the Android SDK in, open the Platform-Tools (Could just be tools, depending on version) folder and double-click ddms.bat (it might be titled just ddms if you don’t show extensions).

3. The first time you open DDMS, you’ll be prompted with a window (see below) asking if you’re willing to send usage statistics to Google. Click the Proceed button to finish opening DDMS.

4. Next, the Dalvik Debug Monitor will open. Make sure your device is listed in the upper-left window, and select it by clicking on it once to highlight it (see below).

5. Now, to take a screenshot, go to Device (at the top), then Screen Capture (see below)

6. The Device Screen Capture window will open and show you whatever is currently on your phone screen. Simply navigate on your phone to the screen you want to take the screenshot of, and then press REFRESH.

7. Once you're happy with the image being shown to you in the Screen Capture window, press SAVE, and name it!

Now... take as many as you like by repeating steps 6 and 7!
