Android :: Camera Crashes When Taking Pictures
Nov 9, 2009
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?

I was simply wondering if there was any way to make the default camera or even. Any camera app use the volume control buttons to take the photo? My phone HTC Evo with Fresh 3.0.

My camera won't take properly colored pictures any more. It started out as an intermittent problem but now it's just all the time and it really bugs me. The camera on these phones sucks to begin with but it did come in handy some times. This is the kind of pictures it takes now.

Any idea why the quality of pictures is so much better when using GOOGLE? If pictures can be that good why does the camera suck when taking pictures?

This may sound like a weird question, but why is my Droid camera taking blurry pictures. I just got the phone today.

Droid Incredible 2.2 no root default camera app user. When I tap to focus on the camera and am really close to something it goes from blurry to sharp and then blurry at the last second (when it snaps the picture) I took this video to demonstrate what I mean. Is there any way to take a picture like this? Or to manually focus with the stock camera app? Or an app that will help me take good quality macro pics of coins, pins, etc. I will pay for an app. I saw posts with the macro camera lens but I have no desire to glue a metal washer onto my camera lens.

I'm wondering how fast I can take pictures one after another withoud surprises from the phone (like fx: 'force close;) Does any of you know that time? I know that 500 milisec is safe time. When i experiment with 100, 200, 300 milisec there is error but who knows, maybe i do sth wrong.

one of my friends has an app installed, called Share Your Board (for taking pictures of whiteboards). I've found their website, and some basic information about it, but cannot find the app in the MarketPlace. When he goes to his downloads area (he just got an update about 2-3 weeks ago), it's not there.

just a minor inconvenience: I used to have my phone set to sync with google, which alerted me every time I received an email. I then found out that google sync was causing an issue with my contact pictures, taking them from facebook and resizing them. it caused them to looked pixelated or "zoomed in" in hilli billy terms. So now I have it set to never sync with google. So now I never receive a notification when I receive an email. Anyone know a way I can set it to sync only to gmail and not sync the contacts? I don't really need to sync them anyway, as I have backup assistant for that purpose.

Not sure if everyone is aware, but you can actually take pictures just by touching the screen on where you want to focus and holding your finger there for about a second...I find it more useful than using the optical trackpad button.

I tried an old(er) example / tutorial to capture a picture from the camera. But "android.hardware.CameraDevice;" cannot be resolved. Has the name changed or have somebody a good tutorial for android 1.6 and the camera? If I press a button, I want to open the Camera and make a picture. After that i want to save the picture on a sdcard and go back to my activity.

When I take a few pictures, my phone tells me that my SD card is not mounted or not present. The only way to get rid of this is to restart the phone and it's detected again - until I take a few more pictures.
I already ran home, after the first time it did this, and backed up my entire SD card to my PC via USB.
The phone is a HTC Thunderbolt running Liquid GingerBread v3.2 AOSP . . .
I really don't do a lot with this phone, but the camera I use often, so this is a real deal breaker for me.

Hi Guys! I'm coding a little app, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. The App does the following: - Launches a Service which listens for an sms, then captures a picture with the cam and sends it to a predefined email adress. (no, i'm not trying to spy somebody out... I'm using the app to get a "3G-Webcam", sort of at least)
The problem: My App works great in the emulator, but as soon as I try it on my HTC Magic (cm6, android 2.2) it stops working.
CODE:.............
The permissions are all set, even the write to SD-card. What am I missing?
Note: I'm not using a surfaceview. Code:

Just got the Milestone a few days ago. Couldn't find similar problems when searching. Having issues with taking Widescreen images. Take a look at the very right side, there is a small strip that's out of place. Actually, this strip is part of the image that should be on the LEFT side of the image instead. Doesn't happen when taking 4:3 5MP picture. Compressed the images, but you can see it below when zoomed. Anyone know what the deal is? Just a small but slightly annoying issue.

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.

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?

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?

I am trying to take picture by G1 camera.
I have tried almost everything i was able to find on the net about this topic. It seams there should be intent with action "android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE" which really starts camera application and returns captured image. But captured image is scaled to 0.25 of original size. Another possibility I have found is to pass uri where to save captured image. I went through all available sources of camera application and it should work but does not.
For illustration, I am doing following in my example activity which creates new image, but after returning from camera, image is still empty:
CODE:..................
I am ready to write my own capturing application, but it is quite hard and I would like to reuse.
Do you know correct intent action name and extra name to pass to capture image?

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.

Can you use the front facing camera on the EVO to take self portrait pictures? I don't imagine you'd be able to easily line up the rear facing camera very well without being able to see the screen at the same time.

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 didn´t 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.
I´ve 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

I was experiencing the "freezes" that others have complained about. The phone itself would freeze up after taking a picture or I'd get a black screen right after activating the camera. After some experimenting, I found something interesting that might help others with this problem. I don't understand why this would work, but it does, at least for me.
If I activate the camera while the phone is vertical and wait until the picture comes on the screen and then turn it horizontal, I have no problems, it takes pictures from then on either vertically of horizontally. But if I am holding the phone horizontally. and then activate the camera, I get the black screen or if I do get a picture, the camera freezes after taking the shot. Maybe the part of the OS that detects orientation is having compatibility problems with the camera software?

My current mobile phone is an LG/Sprint Optimus S, whose camera has 3.2 mpx resolution. My previous (and first) smart phone was an HTC Pure which runs Windows Mobile 6.5 and is perhaps better known as the Topaz, Pure being its AT&T edition. The camera on that phone does 5.0 mpx, so it's obviously much better. Even on just the small device screens, you can see the quality difference at a glance.
For a particular objective, I need to be able to take good pictures on the go, but have the Internet connection provided by my current Android device. In other words, I want to take pictures with the HTC, beam them to my Optimus, and then use that to send out the pictures. I was having a bit of trouble getting the devices to work well together in their native states, so I flashed a version of Froyo onto the old HTC. Having done that, I found that the Bluetooth connection between the devices worked quite well. But when I try to use one of the Android camera apps to take pictures on the HTC, it's not taking full advantage of the lens' capability. The photos show up on the screen about the size of a large postage stamp; in fact not much bigger than a thumbnail picture.
Do Android camera apps not work at any better resolution than 3.2?

Is there a way to turn off the flash and/or the shutter sound of the camera when taking a picture?
Flash Mode says auto under it, but the box is grayed out and I cannot select it to change it.
This is the same for the auto focus feature, I am unable to select that as well.
