View 2 RepliesI would like to build an app that does not require to show preview, I only need bitmap data to analyse. For instance when I move my phone around it will take picture in background and only display user the taken picture properties (brightness, RGB ratio in the image etc). I have searched through google but all the example uses surface view that does require display preview on screen, But dont want to display image at all.

(1.5!) When I take a picture, the resulting image has more content then i saw on the preview. To clarify: Say i'm looking at something with lines, and while looking at the preview i see line 4 to 10. After taking the picture it suddenly is clear i've shot lines 5 to 11. I'm trying to sync something I draw ontop of the view (a line-drawing) with what i'm photographing, and I can't get it to match like this. The newest example has some extra code involving "getSupportedPreviewSizes". I can't use this because of the API version: I'm coding for min. 3, and that one is from 5.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI updated to Froyo recently on my HTC Desire and noticed that the preview picture on my gallery folders changed. Is there an easy way to change the preview picture of the folder? It seems to be using the first picture in the folder. I tried deleting the folder and recreating it from my computer but didn't work. The first picture in the folder also doesn't seem to be related to the alphabetical order, or date order so not sure why it's even picking that picture as the first one.

I've already deleted this picture from the Download folder, but anytime I download a new picture attachment, it still uses the 'unwanted' pic as the folder preview.I've even tried manually deleting the Download folder using AstroFile Manager.Everything I've tried doesn't seem to work.I desperately need help because currently I'm not able to download any picture from my Gmail account without that stupid picture showing up as the preview for the Download folder.

I'm having trouble finding a way I can get the iPhone message preview for my Android phone. Any way or if there is an app for it?
I mostly use GOSMS Pro for my texting, and I read somewhere that GOSMS supplies the option for the preview, but I can't find it.

And on the Preview Class I have the following lines:

I just got my Ally today, and I when I receive a text message I would love to have it show up automatically on my screen.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running a standard camera preview (i use the camera api demo as a reference).
When i hit the capture button, there is a black screen for a good 1/2 second until the captured image appears.
My question is how can i freeze the last image being previewed on the screen while i do the capture work ? I don't mind that the quality of the displayed image is not as good.
If i hit camera.stopPreview() -> that goes into the black screen which i don't want.

But it takes too long to open up gallery and sort through all of my photos. If I could set it up as an icon on my home screen, or even the folder it is in as an icon so i could quickly pull it up, that would be perfect.

I know that I could simply get another dialer but I like Google's version. That blank space just bugs me.
When I place a direct dial picture on a home screen, it shows their face and a small phone icon. (Covering one corner of their face) What the heck? My other direct dials are not like that.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently went into my providers shop because my S4 wouldn't let me add Contacts. They didn't have a clue how to fix it so told me I would have to reset my phone. The guy at the desk backed up my pictures and contacts. After resetting it my Home Screen was still the same picture it had been before the reset. Which is fine, it's what I want. Now though, I can't find the picture itself on my phone or storage device. I've hooked my S4 up to the PC and tried to find it in a folder. I can't seem to locate it. Where would I find the picture at on my S4?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a camera app that displays a picture on my screen in transparency when taking another picture with the camera of the phone in order to do the same pic as done before ...
Any app already exists ? Or is there a tip to do this ? Taking a picture with a printed photo in the other hand is not very effective.
Can you set your home screen vertical (upright)wallpaper picture to be different than the horizontal (sideways) wallpaper? Just wanting to know because my wallpaper when upright (vertical position) does not look good when sideways (horizontal position). when sideway, because the differences in dimension of the screen, takes my wallpaper picture out of center so you cant see the entire picture.
