One of the new features of Android 4.4 KitKat was the screen-recording feature. You can record anything that happens on your phone’s screen, but you could do that only via PC and ADB (Android Debug Bridge) or your phone must be rooted and suitable app installed. That has changed with the Android 5.0 Lollipop update. Android 5.0 does not require ADB and root access to record screen.
With Android 5.0 Lollipop, you can record anything that happens on your phone’s screen by installing suitable apps. No root access is required as in Android 4.4 KitKat. Screen recording apps makes use of the android.media.projection API, which allows apps to capture the device’s screen without ADB and root access.
What are the uses of screen recording on Android smartphone? It can be useful in many situations, for instance, if you want to show off features of an app, or playing of a game, etc. The possibilities are endless.
