    Problem Description

    hi..
    i want to provide a feature for the user to save a screenshot of the current screen.
    I am using cocos2d-x v3.0 and c++, and am implementing this feature for the first time.
    I did some googling and found this piece of code:

    Size screenSize = Director::getInstance()->getWinSize();
    RenderTexture * tex = RenderTexture::create(screenSize.width, screenSize.height);
    tex->setPosition(screenSize.width/2, screenSize.height/2);
    tex->begin();
    this->getParent()->visit();
    tex->end();
    tex->saveToFile("Image_Save.png", Image::Format::PNG);

    But i dont know if i am on the correct path. I tried calling this piece of code on button press event but nothing happened.
    I tried this in iOS, but i want the feature on iOS and Android. Any help will be very much appreciated.
    Thanks

    This is some code from one of our games that should be easily modifiable for yours:

    //Capture Screen Shot
	__String* imageName = __String::createWithFormat("slot%dscreenshot.png",slotNumber);
	ToggleTemplate(true);
	utils::captureScreen(CC_CALLBACK_2(LevelEditorGrid::afterCaptured, this),imageName->getCString());



void LevelEditorGrid::afterCaptured(bool succeed, const std::string& outputFile)
{

}
