Android versions less than 4.0 don’t natively allow screen capture ability. You have 2 options to do it on your android phone/tablet:

1. Root your phone and then install apps like Screenshot and Screenshot It. I personally am not interested in rooting my phone right now. I’m scared to do it.

OR

2. Install Android SDK and Java Development Kit. Use the Dalvik Debug Monitor to capture screenshots. This method is messy and does not let you capture screens on the move.

Some phones like Samsung galaxy and Sony Xperia (updated to 2.3.4) allow you to capture screens natively.

For Galaxy phones:

Press the back button and hold, then press the home button to take the screenshot.

For Xperia phones which have been updated to 2.3.4 can capture screens by long pressing the power button and selecting screen capture on the touch screen.
