Solution 2 - Android Studio
Click on the Monitor (DDMS Included) button on the toolbar -- it looks like the Android bugdroid:
That will bring up the DDMS window. Select the emulator instance from the Devices tab on the left, and click on the camera button in the toolbar above it, next to the stop sign icon:
Note that if your emulator is running Android 4.4 or I think 4.3, then screen capture functionality is broken -- you'll have to use a physical device to get screenshots on those OS versions. It works okay for Android prior to 4.3. That bug is https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=62284

Keeping the emulator on top of all other task on the desktop and pressing "Ctrl + S", also captures the screen shot and it is saved on default(if, not edited) path(i.e. C:\Users\username\Desktop).
Or
you can just click on the "Camera" icon highlighted in "green", which we have with the emulator.
Solution 6 - Android Studio
Please use ctrl
+s
on Windows or ⌘s
on Mac (while the emulator is focused). Your Desktop
should be the default save location.
Solution 7 - Android Studio
Besides using Android Studio, you can also take a screenshot with adb which is faster.
adb shell screencap -p /sdcard/screen.png
adb pull /sdcard/screen.png
adb shell rm /sdcard/screen.png
Shorter one line alternative in Unix/OSX
adb shell screencap -p | perl -pe 's/\x0D\x0A/\x0A/g' > screen.png

On windows: I found that my firewall blocks write access to screenshot. A workaround is to take a snapshot and find it in: C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME.android\avd\YOUR_EMULATOR_NAME.avd\snapshots\snap_SNAPSHOT_TIME
