Hi All,  
I have created an automation script for android device (Android Version 4.4).I want to record my whole script in a form of video.I surrfed on the net and found 2 toools (OpMirror Sender and Reciver), Second is (AZ Screen Recorder) …But problem is that the AZ Screen recorder works for android version 5 and higher. On the other hand i have read the reviews for the OpMirror , and i found that it is not relible …So Can anybody suggest me some tool for the same or provide me with a Url from where i can get it

Hi,

maybe you can try it yourself. When your automation script starts send the adb command:

```
adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/screen.mp4

```

When script ends, pull the video:

```
adb pull /sdcard/screen.mp4

```

and delete the file from device

```
adb shell rm /sdcard/screen.mp4

```

I never tried this, and I think it has a limit of time ☹ You can “play” around with bitrate (–bit-rate ) to see if you can raise the limit.

So the video would be saved in ur Mobile or in ur PC.

During the automation in your mobile and in the end you would pull the recording to your pc (I had post the commands above). But this is just an idea, I never needed to record my tests
