Android 14 Beta 4 Feature: Screenshot Detection
In a bid to standardize the user experience and ensure privacy, Android 14 has unveiled its groundbreaking privacy-preserving screenshot detection API! This innovative feature empowers apps to register callbacks on a per-activity basis. Whenever a user captures a screenshot while an activity is visible, these callbacks are activated, and the user is promptly notified.
To safeguard user privacy, it’s essential to remember that the callback won’t supply the actual screenshot image. Instead, developers will have the task of determining what appeared on the screen at the precise moment the screenshot was taken.
Moreover, Android 14’s system API takes it a step further by only detecting screenshots when specific hardware buttons are pressed. This selective approach deliberately avoids capturing screenshots during testing commands like ADB and instrumentation tests. A win-win for both developers and users, guaranteeing a secure and standardized experience!
