How to screenshot my android studio code in a class

I am making a coursework in android studio. To showcase my job, I need to take picture of a class and including it in the word format. But I do not know how to take a screenshot of a class.
If I take a screenshot, my whole class is not captured as it does not fit to the screen. But, I need to take whole class.
I would appreciate your help.
Depending on the Operating System you're using, there should be a PrintScreen key on your keyboard that would enable you to capture a picture of the class you're looking for. From there, you can paste it to the document you want to share it on and then proceed to crop it down to your specified image choice.

UMLDesigner – Diagram auto layout

I tried to use UMLDesigner to draw my project related diagrams. I see there is a Arrange functionality that can automatically layout diagram elements and links to save some manual work. But when i used it in my Activity diagrams it designed it upside down.
Here is an example. I created following simple activity diagram.
And here is how auto layout result for the same model looks like: auto layout.
The initial node is at the bottom and the final nodes are on top. But i want it the other way - to start at the top and end at the bottom. Is there a way to configure this?
I tried pinning starting and final nodes but it just made a mess after arranging the rest automatically. I searched the settings but couldn't find anything. I use UML Designer Version 7.1.0.
Thanks ahead for any help.
I am sorry there is no way from the preferences to change this behaviour.
This is because I never provide a specific layout for this diagram. Please, fill an issue in the bug tracker and it will be fixed for the next version of UML Designer as it is really easy to fix: https://github.com/ObeoNetwork/UML-Designer/issues.
Thanks for your feedback!

StarUML do not display diagrams

I am using the latest starUML BETA and I'm having these problems.
I have created 2 sequence diagrams and save it as a .mdj file.
After a few days, I wanted to continue working on the diagrams. But when I opened the file, the diagrams I was working on was not displayed. There is also nothing under the Working Diagrams area. But the Explorer section showed the items I have used in creating my diagrams.
I don't want to make my diagrams from scratch again. Is there a way that the diagrams will be displayed again?
I had exactly the same problem. Solved by DOUBLE clicking on Activity Diagram.
To open the diagram, you should first click on the sequence diagram on the Explorer area on the right of the screen and then you'll see that your .mdj file is loaded.

Convert StarUML diagram to Visio drawing

I have a class diagram which i created using Star Uml but now the requirement is to port it to MS Visio . Is it possible to port the .uml to a .vsd with the xml information available?
Thanks in advance.
Exporting as a Windows Metafile (WMF) and Enhanced Windows Metafile (EMF) only imports to Visio as an image.
I understood that the purpose of exporting from StarUML and importing into Visio was being able to manipulate in Visio each one of the objects created in StarUML (e.g. classes).
I haven't found a solution for doing this.
Both programs support export/import of Windows Metafile (WMF) and Enhanced Windows Metafile (EMF). So you may try those.
Exporting from StarUML as a Windows Metafile (WMF) or Enhanced Windows Metafile (EMF) and then import to Visio as a grouped shape.
It might look as an image at first look, but actually its a grouped shape. In order to edit, all you need to do is Right click on the grouped shape and "Ungroup".

Is it possible for Visio to automatically layout a UML diagram?

Is there a way to just lay everything out in the "best" possible manner, using the entire drawing area available? Or do I have to position the various elements myself?
You can try using the "Lay Out Shapes" dialog in Visio 2003. Go to the Shape menu and click on the "Lay Out Shapes" menu item. It can have some interesting results, but it might help if you play around with it.
yes it is possible.

You can import your database into visio and it will create diagrams from it..
