Android :: Camera Flash In 1.5 And 1.6 - Application Crashes
May 21, 2010
My app is using the camera on the phone. For phones w/ 2.0+ I have been able to activate the Flash. When I test on a phone with 1.5 OS on it the app crashes. I get: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException and the Cause is java.lang.VerifyError: fishers.Nav.TakePicture$1
I assume because you have to access the flash differently in apps below 2.0? Can anyone give me some advice or links to examples showing how I could make it work over the whole range of Operating System version or is that just not at all do-able?

So I started with this little write-up. I wanted to try to make an application that will take pictures while running in the background. To start though I wanted an application that once opened would simply take a picture every X seconds. After recreating the classes and methods show in the walk through below I ran into a few problems.
http://itp.nyu.edu/~sve204/mobilemedia_spring10/androidCamera101.pdf
For starters its seems that the onCreate function sets up all the objects for the application, but if you try to take a picture through any other method than onClick (IE directly calling it) the application actually hasn't setup the canvas or the preview yet.
My first question:
Is there any conditional method that you can setup that will wait till all the "onCreate" objects are created and their associated methods are called and finished? How do I wait for the application to finish putting together my surface and starting the cameras preview before automatically starting to take pictures?
My second question:
I am required to have a preview available to take pictures. Is there anyway to push this application to the back (IE running in the background) while still taking pictures? Is drawing to a canvas a requirement? (From what I can tell AFAIK, you are required to have a surfaceholder to start preview, when you put up another screen or application that pauses the current application and closes the surface/canvas you were presenting that preview on). If my understanding is correct on all of this the best I will be able to do is make a 1x1 pixel canvas that will still take up the screen due to the application being in the foreground.
My Third question:
Is there any way around this? Can you still utilize the camera in some fashion without requiring the preview be drawn?

Being relatively new to my Droid, I'm still finding fun stuff. Recently, I picked up the shell/holster combo and really like it. However, while I am at work, I have my phone on vibrate (thanks Timeriffic) and can't tell who is texting/emailing me like I used to (different colors for the LED, thanks Handcent). What I was wondering is: is it possible to write an app that uses the camera flash like a vibrate function.
The ability to customize the number of flashes and duration would be cool, as would the ability to have it only flash when the phone is on vibrate or silent. Preferably, without having to root the phone. If its not possible due to hardware or software lockouts oh well.

Has anyone found a FlashLight App that uses the dual LED Camera Flash as a light source? I have this on my BlackBerry Storm and it works Awesome. Have not had any luck finding one like it for the DROID?

There is an app in the market which is written just for the Moment that uses the camera flash as a flashlight -- essentially it turns on the camera flash. The application says not to use the flash "too long" or damage may occur, but the "too long" time period is not defined. First, will having the flash on for an period of time damage it? Second, if so, any idea what maximum period of time would be "safe?"

Is there a particular flag that we can use to prevent apps showing up in marketplace which require the phone to have a camera flash /LED? Typical apps are ones which make the phone act like a torchlight in dark. I have seen a tag which prevents apps requiring auto focus in a camera from appearing in the marketplace. Just looking to find out if there is something similar for camera flash.

Hi. im having a trouble getting Android's camera to work. i started CameraActivity Intent from MapActivity (when i start camera activity, i unresgister all listeners used in map activity), and when i call takepicture method, it just exits camera activity and return to map activity dumping strange msg showing below.
the camera sounds off the shutter-sound and it crashes camera activity. sometimes it succeeds, and sometimes doesn't.
it happens when im using docomo's HT-03A, 1.6sdk is installed.
Anyone having same trouble as i do?

We are exploring the default applications in Froyo and we found out that the Camera app always crashes seconds after it loads.
Is this related to the no camera/video input limitation of the application? If not, what seems to be the problem? We already added all the additional properties to the AVD. We also disabled the auto-rotate screen option.

My camera stopped working. When I click my camera application I get the message "The application camera (process com.android.camera) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". It's just a blank screen?

Got the Evo (first android phone for me) and promptly started installing apps. At some point, my camera stopped working. When launching the camera app, the screen would go black for a second, then back to home screen. Installed the OTA update (also had the security error on SD card), then installed apps again. Same problem after so many apps installed. I don't know the app limit, but it's not out of internal storage. If I uninstall enough apps, camera works again. All other apps worked normally throughout.

If you could only choose one of these, which would you have chosen for the Fascinate? (Obviously it would be best to have both).

I bought a x10 mini pro this week and the same day the phone arrived i updated to 2.1 with SE PC Companion software.
I didnīt noticed if this happens to 1.6 duo to the short usage of this droid version.
Every time i starts the camera application or any application that uses the camera (like Google goggles for example), the phone aparently crashes and suddenly reboot. After the reboot, the camera used to work for the first times but about aprox 30 min. or less that the phone has been rebooted, when i try to start the camera, the phone crashes and restarts again.
Iīve tried to Repair the phone in pc Companion software and the issue continues the same.

i've been having some trouble lately with taking pictures on my front facing camera. I'm using the t-mobile variant of the samsung galaxy s3 (its actually from wind, but theyre the same). The last rom i had installed was cyanogenmod, and it was working fairly well, except every once in a while, when i took a picture or video from the front facing camera, the phone would crash immediately and reboot. I tested this with many different camera applications and they all had the same result. I decided that i would try a different rom to see if that was the issue, so i installed the latest version of Carbon. The problem persisted, and it even got worse. Now every time i take a photo using the front facing camera, the phone will crash and reboot instantly. I read around, and there appears to be some issues with snapchat and such, but i dont think that is my problem as this is occuring with every camera application i have. I have also checked out some other threads related to this issue, and some seem to have the same problem, with no real solution. Apparently a temporary fix seems to be clearing the application data, but even that doesn't work for me. If i could guess, i would say it has something to do with custom roms in general as i have seen no reports of a stock rom phone having this issue, or perhaps a gapps issue, but those are just some thoughts.
Some Info:
Model Number: SGH-T999
Android Version: 4.4.2
Carbon Version: CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140316-0304

In my application I've implemented such that pressing the hardware volume keys displays a Toast with the current volume. Things go well most of the times. However long presses of the volume keys do succeed in crashing my application. The Log generated on crash is the following...
The approach I follow:
I have a toast Object and for every key press event detected I inflate a view ,set the view elements within, set it to the toast and then show the toast.
Any idea what is going wrong ? code...

I have yet to try this on an actual device, but expect similar results. Anyway, long story short, whenever I run my app on the emulator, it crashes due to an out of memory exception.
My code really is essentially the same as the camera preview API demo from google, which runs perfectly fine.
The only file in the app (that I created/use) is as below-

Shown are a few lines of code. If I play a single sound, it runs fine. Adding a second sound causes it to crash.
private SoundManager mSoundManager;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.sos);
mSoundManager = new SoundManager(); mSoundManager.initSounds(getBaseContext());
mSoundManager.addSound(1,R.raw.dit); mSoundManager.addSound(1,R.raw.dah);
Button SoundButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.SoundButton);
SoundButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

I have a G1 Android that's been rooted. My problem is that Market and Gmail crashes on launch. I also cannot get to the Data Synchronization page. It displays the page for a split second and then instantly closes out. Is there a way to reset the apps? I've tried factory reset and upgrading to a newer version of Cyanogen mod without success.

I'm nearly ready to publish my OpenGL game. I've been browsing this newsgroup and I've seen quite a few posts regarding crashes, blank screens, etc when running an OpenGL application on the Droid. I have three questions:
1) What are some common pitfalls that occur when trying to support the Droid/Nexus One? So far, I've tested my game on the Android 2.0 emulator (both WVGA & FWVGA) and everything works fine but I'm still paranoid.
2) I've placed my textures (png) in the assets folder. Will these images be pre-scaled automatically? I've read about specifying density independent images for resources but do the same rules apply for images stored in the assets folder? I'm afraid that pre-scaling will cause my textures to become non-power of 2.
3) What additional strategies have developers been taking to ensure their application works on the newer devices when they only have access to G1/G2 hardware?
