Read pixel from the screen?

Bodya over 5 years ago

Is there any way to read pixel color from the screen? ie get color value from Dc or BufferedBitmap etc etc?

Idea is to draw text on the screen than read some pixels to decorate it.

That's not available in the API

thank you! Any thoughts how to get pixel even with some tricky workarounds?

Nope. There is no way to read the content of the system display buffer or a BufferedBitmap.

Thank you for a reply!

I have noticed it is not highly important for the whole CIQ eco-system, but do you think it can be a part of future CIQ platform updates?

This has been asked and requested before and has been rejected. I don't imagine this will be changing.

Ok, noted.

but it can create nice possibilities for decoration around numbers (printed by system standard apis) for watch face.
