Android Studio 3.1 - Layout Editor Preview - Screen Capture Missing

Question

I just upgraded to Android Studio 3.1 Stable Version and found that the feature to save a screen capture of the layout preview in the Graphical Layout Editor is missing. This feature was there in Android Studio 3.0.1. You would right click on the preview and it would take a screenshot of it. I need it to make graphics of the Pixel 2 XL and shouldn't have to start my emulator for just that.

What happened to it? How do I turn it on again?

Answer 1

Try :

• In Android Studio, select View > Tool Windows > Logcat to open Logcat.

• Select the device and a process from the drop-down at the top of the window.

• Click Screen Capture on the left side of the window.
