Menu
Click the Start Recording button or use the Win + Alt + R keyboard shortcut to capture your screen activity. Now perform whatever screen actions you want to capture.
Quick Video Recorder is a free Android app that not only allows you to record a video with the screen off, but you can also schedule a recording. To schedule a recording, tap on the clock tab and fill in the apps' information. For example, you'll need to fill in the: Date.
Unfortunately, if you have an Android 10 phone that isn't from Samsung, LG, or OnePlus, or if it's Android 9 or earlier, it doesn't come with a built-in screen recording feature.
Android 4.4 (KitKat) and higher devices have a shell utility for recording the Android device screen. Connect a device in developer/debug mode running KitKat with the adb utility over USB and then type the following:
adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/movie.mp4
(Press Ctrl-C to stop)
adb pull /sdcard/movie.mp4
Screen recording is limited to a maximum of 3 minutes.

I know this is an old question but since it appears to be unanswered to the OPs liking. There is an app that accopmlishes this in the Android Market Screencast link
Yes, use a phone with a video out, and use a video recorder to capture the stream

@taranfx, without more info I'm assuming since you are on StackOverFlow that you have the Android Developer Tools installed. If so you can run the emulator and then use one of the many desktop screen capture programs to capture your running application. Screenflow on the Mac works great for doing this. I am sure there are many good screen capture programs if you are on Windows or a Nix platform and I know there are some online services as well but I do not have any links nor have I used them. Here is a link for the reference document on setting up and running the emulator.The Android SDK includes a mobile device emulator...
My suggestion is also to use a screen recorder, such as SMRecorder. Instead of using the emulator, which is slow - especially for games and things you would want a video of, I recommend using a VirtualBox VM, with Android installed. You can connect the Dalvik debugger to it and debug you app there. If the debugger slows down you app too much, disconnect it to record the video. There are many links out there explaining how to set up the Android VM for debugging. I find it far better than the emulator. Now this does not take care of capturing screens directly on the device, in case you app uses the accelerometer, or the camera that are not available on the PC. For that I would use the android market app mentioned above.
