    Hi i have one query after taking screenshot this screen shot is not save into gallary.so is their any solution for this.

      Yeah, it’s not in the gallery, but it’s somewhere in your device’s memory. If you know how to modify this code in order to send the pictures to the gallery, please, let us all know! So far I achieved this (saving pictures to gallery) only by using Unity3D assets/plugins, which comes with a price.

    Great work with the tutorials.

    Thanks in Advance

      Hello, John. Haven’t done anything on that yet. But I will soon, you can wait for a tutorial (2 to 3 months), but if you want it to be quicker it won’t be for free.

    hi,
    how can I take another snapshot and not to replace the older one.
    i want to create a snapshot gallery stored on SDcard.
    thanks.

  7. Ferry

  12. andres

    Another excellent tutorial, android ultimate plugin now cost 5$ 🙁

    • admin

      Oh well, it’s not so much, but maybe you’ll find something for free, but you’ll need to modify some code.

  13. Kevin

    but when i taking a screenshot using your code my result is only white screen and the Augmented view only with white background can you help me pls?
    sorry for my bad english, thanks

    • admin

      I have a better “taking a picture” function, but I am not willing to share right now.

    • admin

      I would guess that plugin was imported wrong, unless you downloaded whole project folder?

  14. Hide

    why when i import on smartphone the canvas doesn’t appear?

      • Hide

        yes man, on pc i can see the button and the panel, on phone it seems like they’re invisibile, when i tap randomly on the screen tapping them, they work but i can’t see them!

          • admin

            Sorry, I won’t have time to deal with it.

          • CALLO

            Hi, I downloaded your project, and when i exported it for android I can’t see the button on smartphone, but when i download your apk,works, what’s the problem?

          • admin

            I have restested just right now (exported the apk). Works great actually.

  15. Eormo

    Thank you for your work, your tutorials are very helpful!

    I was wondering if it could be possible to show the panel only when the marker is tracked?

    • admin

      It is really possible, but I won’t go into details, google unity/vuforia forums.

      • Eormo

        Thanks, I’ve managed to find a solution on these forums! But I’m now facing another issue as I have multiple targets. It works great, until I click the camera button and track another target : the share button from the previous track still appear… Is there a way to restart/disable your script while on OnTrackingLost?

      • Eormo

        I ended up duplicating your script and calling the matching canvas for each ImageTarget. I don’t know if it’s the best thing to do but it is working! Sorry for the bother and thanks again for your tutorials!

  16. Piotr

    Hi, your tutorials are very helpful great job! Got one question is it possible to take a snapshot with interface graphic elements? In my case the snapshot is working but without augmented layer. I’m working on simple app with OpenCV ForUnity. Maybe I have to change the camera name in your script?
    Thank you and pleas keep your tutorials coming!

    • admin

      It’s possible with or without, doesn’t matter. Just dive into code, I’m hiding the UI elements.

  17. Taleh

    It’s an awesome tutorial,but i was undering if it is posible to add adition text to user’s one, for example: he/she wrote: I like this games,and in the end an stabil #CompanyName?

  18. crimson

    I am a newbie.Assets/SnapshotShare.cs(7,17): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `AndroidUltimatePluginController’ could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?

    • admin

      You’re missing plugin. Did you tried archived project?

      • crimson

        I created a new project, and the plug-in is just downloaded. Is a plug-in date? Help me, I’m a student from China

      • crimson

        I can’t find ‘the class AndroidUltimatePluginController

  19. crimson

  22. kyo

    • admin

      Yeah, you should probably find another way if you want it for free, but I recommend buying a plugin, for instance, ultimate mobile.
