With Google flavor long press of power button results in voice assistant, see Benjamin_Loison/Voice_assistant/issues/7#issue-1475654.

DuckDuckGo and Google search adb scrolling screenshot.

The Stack Overflow question 72804636 and the Android Stack Exchange question 35012 raise this question, the latter has answers but nothing absolutely clean to me.

adb exec-out screencap --help

Output:


usage: screencap [-ahp] [-d display-id] [FILENAME]
   -h: this message
   -a: captures all the active displays. This appends an integer postfix to the FILENAME.
       e.g., FILENAME_0.png, FILENAME_1.png. If both -a and -d are given, it ignores -d.
   -d: specify the display ID to capture (If the id is not given, it defaults to 4619827259835644672)
       see "dumpsys SurfaceFlinger --display-id" for valid display IDs.
   -p: outputs in png format.
   --hint-for-seamless If set will use the hintForSeamless path in SF

If FILENAME ends with .png it will be saved as a png.
If FILENAME is not given, the results will be printed to stdout.

adb exec-out screencap --hint-for-seamless -p > test.png

does not have the scrolling aspect but maybe the Safety app Features tab does not support it.
