Hello, if you want to capture the screen with the help of java awt then you must need to make use of the trick of the Print screen in our windows application. For getting the solution for your problem you must need to make use of the methods below:
createScreenCapture():
If you make use of this method then you are using the method of the Robot class. This methd will create an image which can be read by the screen. For getting the screen size it make uses the getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize() method of the Toolkit class.

write():
write() is the method of the ImageIO class. Image is saved into the image buffer before creating the new image. If you are using this method then it is necessary to make use of the three arguments below:

• rendered image
• file format
• output file name

ImageIO:
it is the class which is available in javax.imageio.*; package. It will help you to read the image.
