Explanation

  • modifier: Modifier for modifying the layout of the screen capture component.
  • screenCaptureController: Controller for managing the screen capture functionality.
  • shareImage: Boolean indicating whether the user intends to share the captured image.
  • onCaptured: Callback invoked when an image is successfully captured or when there's a failure during the capture process. It provides an ImageBitmap representing the captured image and a Throwable in case of any errors.
  • content: A composable function that defines the content to be displayed within the screen capture component. This could include buttons, text, or any other UI elements related to screen capture functionality.
