<p>The Device Screen Capture view appears when you right-click a device in the Device Management view (either a
connected device listed under <uicontrol>Android Handset</uicontrol> or an emulated device listed under
<uicontrol>Android Virtual Device</uicontrol>) and select <uicontrol>Take Screenshot</uicontrol>. Note that
the captured screen isn't automatically saved or copied to the clipboard; you need to use the <uicontrol
>Save</uicontrol> or <uicontrol>Copy</uicontrol> buttons to preserve the image.</p>
