How to Get Android P Screenshot Edit Feature on Any Android
Android P Developer Preview 1 has been
out now for a few days now, in case you hadn’t yet heard. It brings a
number of changes, both visual and under the hood. Android P is not a
major design overhaul but it makes enough changes still. Most of the
changes are under the hood yet there is no lack of visible features as
well. As it turns out, one of those features has already been ported to
work on any Android. I went into quite some detail once about how
Android P should improve on the screenshot feature. It isn’t quite the
same but Android P now has a screenshot edit feature.
There are no scrolling screenshots yet but it’s a start. When you take a screenshot on Android P, you can immediately edit it to highlight certain parts or doodle on it. Let’s be real though, Android Oreo has hardly made to slightly more than 1% devices. The chances of Android P making it to those devices are almost slim to none. Fortunately, at least the screenshot edit feature has already been ported to work on any Android device. XDA member Quinny899 realized that this feature was, in fact, a separate app itself called Markup.
He has thus ported it to work with other Android devices running Android Oreo and lower. There are some minor differences between how this works on Android P and other Android versions though. On Android P, when you take a screenshot, the notification has an EDIT button. You can see this in the screenshot below.
This launcher the Markup
editor when pressed. On Android Oreo and lower, there is no such button
to launch the app. The workaround isn’t very different though and only
involved one extra step. We’ll get there in a bit. We don’t have any
Android Lollipop or Marshmallow devices lying around, but we can confirm
this works on Android Oreo and Android Nougat as well.
