Google map is blank on screenshots

[ch-vadim-maximov]

Hello,
For some reason map is not captured by the screenshots.

Is there a setting I'm missing or this is a limitation of the screenshot library?

Thanks!

Google Maps is a hole punched through your application and rendered in GL. This will be solved with #4. For now use Falcon's spoon-compat library to capture screenshots: https://github.com/jraska/Falcon

Just to let you know: Falcon does not solve the problem with Google maps. It probably cannot handle OpenGL as well. A good workaround is to use UiAutomator 2.0 from Google. For me it worked in a test on Nexus 6 and Galaxy S5:

UiAutomator Installation Instructions

Integration with Spoon
(The same way as Falcon does it)

File screenshot = Spoon.screenshot(activity, "map");
UiDevice.getInstance(InstrumentationRegistry.getInstrumentation()).takeScreenshot
                (screenshot);

Happy shooting!
