Andoroid screenshot with delay timer

Question

I am looking for a gratis Android app.

Minimal functionality:

• must be able to delay the screen shot (still image) by X seconds where X is preferably user-defined
• initiated by an icon, NOT by a combination of physical keys, such as volume down + power.

That's it, all else, such as captioning, video capture, etc, is a bonus.

Answer 1

There are several candidates meeting your requirements:

Screenshot

^{Screenshot (source: Google Play; click images for larger variants)}

This seems to be a very suitable candidate. Not only matches your described requirements, but allows for multiple additional ways to be triggered: hotkeys and notification area included. Also included is a nice gallery of the screenshots you've already done (see above), plus the capability of editing/cropping screenshots and uploading them to different sites.

• Delay: Yes (see first screenshot; of course neither countdown nor the floating icon are captured)
• initiated by an icon: Yes, but also several different options
• Gratis: Yes.
• root required: No, but might be needed for some functions (not sure which).
• Up-to-dateness: Last release 2 month ago.

Same name, but note the "lowercase s".

^{screenshot (source: Google Play; click images for larger variants)}

• Delay: Yes (see last screenshot)
• initiated by an icon: Yes, but also several different options (e.g. "shake")
• Gratis: Yes.
• root required: No, but might be needed for some functions (not sure which).
• Up-to-dateness: Last release a year ago.

Touchshot

As pointed out by the OP, there's also Touchshot with which Mawg finally ended up:

^{Touchshot (source: Google Play; click images for larger variants)}

Though missing from the app's description, OP confirms it meets all the requirements – so I omit those details here. It's well rated (more than 4 stars at 300+ votes) and (at the point of this writing) very much up-to-date.

There are several other candidates out there. But those I know of are either completely outdated (not updated for much more than one year – so it's not clear if they'd still work on recent Android versions), or not available for free. Hope one of these two comes up to your expectations :)
