Description

From the listing uploaded by “iskyguard”.

This app provides a user interface for the native screen recording system introduced in Android KitKat (version 4.4). This app will allow you to easily harness that system. This app is shareware - the free version downloaded here can be upgraded to the full version via an in app purchase. The free version can only specify the filepath parameter. There is no time limit imposed by the app. The full version can have a length of up to 3 minutes (maximum allowed by native method) and has access to all parameters. This app is likely to require root access on devices. Root access is requested on app start - it is highly recommended that you allow root access, as this app probably won't work without it (the file will be 0 bytes in size). When specifying the file path, the extension should be .mp4. Voluntary translations requested! If you want to translate this app into your language, please contact me :)
