Recording Android Device Screen Using Just ADB

ADB can be be used to record the screen of your Android device. The process is absolutely hassle free. Let’s see a step by step approach:

Prerequisite: 

ADB should be installed and ready to use on your system.

        1. Connect your Android device to the system. Execute the below command to make sure your device is properly connected to the system

       adb devices 

       

      The result should show something like

                                                                                                           

    

         2. Now issue the following command

       adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/<name of your recording>

       

       A sample command would look like:

       

       adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/myrecording.mp4

       or

       adb -s 4d00967dd42e12c3 shell screenrecord /sdcard/myrecording.mp4

       

       where 4d00967dd42e12c3 is the device ID.

       This command will record your screen and save it in sdcard with the

       the name you have specified above

     3.Hit Ctrl+c to stop the recording
