View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a very simple widget application which consists of a linear layout with a background and an image button. In the AppWidgetProvider on Update method, I register the click of the button to broadcast an intent. When the widget first loads, everything runs fine and the click is captured. The problem occurs when the screen is rotated, and the click is never captured again even if the screen is rotated back. What do I have to do to re-register the click when the screen rotates? below is some segments of code I am using.
AppWidgetProvider
@Override
public void on Receive(Context context, Intent intent)
{super.on Receive(context, intent);
if(intent.getAction().equals("test.CLICK"))
{Closemouthed(context);}}
@Override
public void on Update(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,int[] appWidgetIds)final int N = appWidgetIds.length;
// Perform this loop procedure for each App Widget that belongs to this provider for (int i=0; i<N; i++) {
int appWidgetId = appWidgetIds[i]; RemoteViews views=new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget);
Intent click intent=new Intent("test.CLICK");
Pending Intent pendingIntentClick=Pending Intent.getBroadcast(context, 0, click intent, Pending Intent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.change_mode, pendingIntentClick);
SetInitialLayout(context);
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, views);}
super.on Update(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetIds);}
Manifest
<receiver android:name=".Widget" android:label="@string/widget_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.appwidget.action.ACTION_APPWIDGET_CONFIGURE" />
<action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE" />
<action android:name="test.CLICK" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data android:name="android.appwidget.provider" android:resource="@xml/widget_mode_switcher" />
</receiver
Im not a big fan of the 2 position camera button on the X. Is there anyway to make the camera work like it does with google goggles? Just one icon on the screen to press and snap a picture.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to write an application to prevent the Android handset from storing the capture picture? My thoughts are
a. Hook onto native camera apps and monitor for camera capture (or events). Once there is a capture event, my application will be able to detect and maybe remove the capture picture
b. Continously monitor camera capture picture storage. Are there any known i/o api l can use to do this?
c. Prevent all writes to the OS. Possible?

This is the code that I have for camera preview and image capture.I am trying to do camera preview and as I press the space button I am trying to take picture and save it in the picture gallery of the Android development phone.

How can I capture a long press of the device menu button in my application?I thought of an intent filter, but there's only an action called android.intent.action.SEARCH_LONG_PRESS, but nothing for the MENU button.I found that long press of the menu button actually does different things on different devices,i.e. on Nexus One it will show the soft keyboard, while on Samsung Galaxy S it will pop up the search widget.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am seeing a very annoying behavior on Motorola Droid when trying to do a simple camera preview at QCIF resolution. And I was wondering if someone experienced something similar. Is there a workaround? Am I doing something wrong?
Let me explain the situation.
Firstly, right after boot-up, using native camera application there is nothing out of ordinary, I see preview each time and it is all perfectly well for as long as needed as many times as I want.
The "interesting" behavior starts when I use the slightly modified API Demos (full app available in Android SDK, modified file is attached). My goal is to preview (and later capture) video at QCIF (176 x 144) resolution.
Using CameraPreview module in API Demos application I can start preview and capture normally only the first time - picture is clear, focused, normal colors, etc. Preview and all is nice. The second time I do preview I see a very over-exposed picture, I need to turn it away from any light source to see anything, otherwise it is all white. And even in the shadow, everything is grainy, as if picture is taken with too sensitive settings (high ISO) with too long exposure. The third time, it is the opposite - the preview and capture is way too dark. I need to point the camera directly into the light source to see even a faintest picture. Pointing out of the window does not help, it has to be straight into the lamp or sun. The effect is like taking pictures with much too low ISO setting - it is way too underexposed.
The overexposed and underexposed sessions interchange, but it is not clear-cut which one appears first. So far the prevailing pattern is that overexposed one starts first. Now surprise comes when I try using native camera application. The pattern continues! It is as if hardware or or software (camera process) got "tainted" with the QCIF. This continues until I reboot the device.
Another interesting point is that if I allow device to "rest", symptoms are much less pronounced after 10 minutes, then in 15 minutes they become barely visible. However, it all comes back after the first time I capture in QCIF. Nothing like this is visible when resolution is higher, say, CIF, VGA or similar. The problem is that, for my purposes I need it to be QCIF.
I am writing an app to capture the camera preview frames and convert it to bitmap in Android.
Here is my code:...........
After I start preview, the callback got called with data, but the bitmap is null.
What did I do wrong when convert the byte array to BitMap?
I have created an app in which using native camera to capture the image and use it in an activity.The camera is working fine in all the devices of android but crashes in DROID RAZR.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to specify the full button images for both the up and down positions. My impression is that the most probable choice is to use an custom button based on the ImageView and specify the image for up and down positions. I am using the OnTouchEvent method to capture the ACTION_DOWN, but I'm not getting the ACTION_UP event.
Is there a better choice for creating a button that controls the full button image, catches the Down/Up and can subdivide the down time into time slices? If not, how do I catch the up event.
My application expects a screen touch on the "button" and not a keyboard action.
Got mine on Tuesday and chuffed to bits with it Have been fiddling away and even reasonably satisfied with battery life now. Lots of top tips on, have read and learnt a lot so thank you all.
On to business: This morning I wanted to take a daft self-portrait of myself (a doddle on the ol' sony erisscon). It's really tricky and I tried self timer etc... So I looked in the big manual. Page 143 and 146 describe an auto capture function - for just such an event as a daft self portrait. Only problem is I can't find it!
I'm in camera - definitely photo not video - and then menu which brings up settings. All the settings are there except that one.
Any ideas? Would be handy to know where my "auto capture" option has gone!
I cant figure out why my camera button is tiggering the volume and not the camera. Every time I press it to use my camera it keeps lowering my ringer volume and when im in the camera mode(from app) it wont snap any pics, it just takes me back to my main page and lower the volume. Can anyone help me out?
