Question

To capture screen shot in my java application i have write following code

BufferedImage capture = new Robot().createScreenCapture(screenRect);

ImageIO.write(capture, "png", new File("resources/img/screenshot.png"));

This is working successfully and capture screen shot but this is not working in windows 8 operating system. any one else who have face this type of problem and get soluction?

Answer 1

my application is install into the program file folder and the windows 8 not give permission to write there how i can write there now?

Do not write it there! OS manufacturers as well as Sun/Oracle have been saying for years not to write files to the application's installation directory. It is not only the wrong place to write them, but as you have discovered, does not provide write permissions for a typical Java app.

Instead put the screen-shot in user.home e.g. as seen in this answer.
