Just downloaded an app called Wired Goggles from Market. Dev says use faster devices like N1 but its working great on my Droid. It displays REAL TIME wireframe outlines of whatever you point your camera at. You can change colors and full version you can save image to SD card in .png format. Try free version first and play with it.

I am running into an issue with the way my asynctasks are executed. Here's the problem code:
firstTask = new background().new FirstTask(context);
if(firstTask.execute().get().toString().equals("1"))
secondTask = new background().new SecondTask(context);
What I'm doing here is creating a new asynctask object, assigning it to firstTask and then executing it. I then want to fire off a separate asynctask when the first one is done and making sure it returns a success value (1 in this case). This works perfectly on Android 2.0 and up. However, I am testing with Android 1.5 and problems start popping up. The code above will run the first asynctask but doInBackground() is never called despite onPreExecute() being called. If I am to execute the first task without the get() method, doInBackground() is called and everything works as expected. Except now I do not have a way to determine if the first task completed successfully so that I can tell the second task to execute. Is it safe to assume that this is a bug with asynctask on Android 1.5? Especially since the API says that the get method has been implemented since API 3. Is there any way to fix this? Or another way to determine that the first task has finished?
The sales girl installed Goggles on my phone when I bought it because she said I would really like it; I don't - I want to remove it but it does not show up in my list of installed applications. Is there another way to uninstall a program?
View 7 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know if there is a google goggles API for Android? If not, is there one coming any time soon? With an API for this thing the possibilities are endless... So far all I've been able to find on this subject is a discussion about not currently having a version for the iPhone due to it's "google labs" status (iPhone version coming once it's more "complete"). I'm hoping an API may be released then. Anybody have any info on this at all?

The application Goggles (process com.google.android.apps.unveil) has stopped unexpectantly. Please try again. and it asks me to Force close. I do. I have even rebooted my phone a couple times and looked for updates. no luck. Should I uninstall and reload? How do I uninstall?
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe biggest disappointment is that it doesn't seem to read QR Code. If so, it would at least be a replacement for Barcode Scanner. That way I would use it more regularly as goggles is improved.

View 15 Replies View RelatedThis is becoming a routine. A new great app is coming out for Android, but is does not support 1.5. Even Google itself does not support this version since it is too old. I am sick of this, it seems HTC does not think it's urgent to take care of its customers. We should get 2.0 already!!! HTC, today's smart phones are measured in cool apps. You want to beat the IPhone, start moving your people and create this d*$m update.
View 49 Replies View RelatedWhenever I take a picture in Google Goggles, i hear 2 clicking sounds coming from the phone. The first sounds comes when the capture button is pressed, and the second sound comes as soon as the picture is taken. I don't hear these noises when taking pictures through the regular camera app. It sounds like it's coming from inside the phone.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs anyone having stability issues with Google goggles on their Droid 2? It seems to always freeze when I attempt to take a picture or just becomes unresponsive to commands. More often then not, when I take a picture, it simply gets stuck with the loading symbol (red spinning circle) displayed.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHas anyone else noticed how poorly aligned the camera shots are when using Google Goggles? When I click that button to take a picture it's NEVER lined up like it was before. It's even more obvious if I use the crop feature.I can point at a logo and crop it perfectly and hold the phone absolutely still and press the button. When it shows the processing screen it looks like the camera shot is a couple inches below where it showed on the previous camera screen.

View 3 Replies View RelatedGoogle has released a Search by Sight application using the camera to detect and search! Search By Sight With Google Goggles. Unfortunately the fine print reads "Available on phones that run Android 1.6+ (i.e. Donut or Eclair)" so we'll have to wait until the 2010 update that @HTC promised. Still pretty exciting technology here! Maybe by the time we get it, the bugs will be worked out. It's a labs product still after all.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI made a thread about this a while ago and it was unsuccessful. I was recommended to use the Qik app, but that doesn't suit me as I wish to use it with MSN and other chat sites. So my question is: are there any apps out there that allow an Android phone (rooted already, if necessary) to be used as a wired webcam, or via bluetooth? Or is any such app currently being developed?

View 4 Replies View RelatedUsing Intent.ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG, my app can be notified when a wired headset is plugged or unplugged. But how can it determine whether or not it's plugged in when it starts running? The closest thing I can find is AudioManager.isWiredHeadsetOn() which "checks whether audio routing to the wired headset is on or off" - but the headset can still be connected without audio being routed to it.

is there any app that allows you to "turn" a wired headset to a bluetooth one via android?
You might think to connect an android smartphone to a normal wired headset (such as those supplied with most phones) and to exploit its bluetooth connection to use it on pc/consoles/... Do you think that it is possible?
I just signed up for the hotspot because it is no longer free, unfortunately. I have been running my PS3 wirelessly on 4g, but it is not that great of a connection. I was wondering if it is possible to tether the ps3 with the USB port?
