Is there a way to find out the path used by android to save screenshots?

Can I get the path from a code?

Android's API has no fixed path for screenshots but

File pix = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
File screenshots = new File(pix, "Screenshots");

might work. That's what ICS uses as path.
