Taking Better Android Screenshots for Play Store
If you are an Android mobile app developer, you have to take lot of screenshots for uploading to Google Play Store Console. When you take screenshots, it would be more professional if you consider few aspects.
- Reset the battery percentage.
- Set WiFi and network signal to full
- Remove notification icons
- Set clock time.
All these settings can be done by using the demo mode. You can copy the below code in to a batch file and run it whenever you need to take screenshot from your device/emulator.
@ECHO OFF
echo Android Demo Mode Tool
echo.
echo Enabling Demo Mode
adb shell settings put global sysui_demo_allowed 1
adb shell am broadcast -a com.android.systemui.demo -e command enter
