How to capture a screenshot of other Android applications from an app without root?

Question

I want to capture a screen shot of Android applications that are running on my phone.

I tried using the ScreenShot UX application. This can be done on an unrooted phone

As of Android 5.0+, you can use the new functionality in the SDK called media projections to do screen capture without root privileges. There is sample code by Google available here.
