I need to take pictures with my application, but the only thing I am finding are examples of how to create a camera activity. Is there a way I can call up the phones native camera instead and get the byte[] data back instead of creating a camera activity myself?
I am asking because I would like to take advantage of the normal features like zoom, flash, themes, etc that the user would get if they push the camera button on their phone.

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 1 Replies View RelatedAfter a few weeks on market with my app (Ghosts AR) I found few interesting issues coming from the users who installed the program. On some of the devices my application fails with exception:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Out of memory at android.hardware.Camera.native_setup(Native Method) at android.hardware.Camera.<init>(Camera.java:82) at android.hardware.Camera.open(Camera.java:64)
Strange that I'm personally never got it on my G1 (1.5 firmware).
I am having a problem capturing an image and storing it from the native camera app. Here is a sample of some of my code.

After the picture has been taken and I'm returned back to my original Activity, When I navigate to my sd card via Android DDMS File Explorer the picture is not there. Anyone know why this is not being saved?
In my application i want to pass the camera data to native layer. what is the best possible approach for doing the same.
I know it can be done 2 ways.
1.start the camera in application and pass the preview data to native layer. But i feel this may consume lot of resources.
2.Start the camera directly in native layer and use it. So JNI will come less into picture. and not much resource loading also.But dont want to take any risk by using the lower layer code which may change in future.
Is there any other approach ? start the camera and tap the data in native layer. I think this wont be proper approach, Can any one suggest ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just came across this WhatsApp widget for Root which is able to display recent messages. I was wondering how the developers managed to get the data from WhatsApp.
As of now, I can think of three possible ways:
a) The widget refreshes its contents whenever it detects activity on the WhatsApp message database.
b) The widget "hooks" methods that get called in one of WhatsApps activities when new messages arrive and mirrors the messages into its own database.
c) The widget listens for push messages with the WhatsApp signature or listens for traffic between WhatsApp and their servers.
I use the termin "hooking" because of the way iOS tweaks are written, I have no idea if this is possible on Android. Which way is more likely?
Let me elaborate on the background of my question: I noticed that WhatsApp groups new messages as a single item in the notification window. I'm thinking about selling my iPhone and getting an Android phone, but I would like to have a preview of all incoming messages like iOS's notification center.
I release a class. In the class, there are public fields that can be written. I want to register the callback function which will be called right after my field is accessed. I think I can do that by using JVM tool interface which is supposed to be used for a debugger software. JVM tool interface:
I'm not sure same interface is working on android. or, They provide another form of interface to get a notification of a field access.
I hope this question hasn't been addressed before; I've tried searching google but I may not be searching with the right keywords:
My Droid (running NexFro 1.01 - about to install BB with NexFro in ~20 mins) has been automatically mounting my SD card to my PC since installing Froyo last Saturday. I didn't have this feature enabled before flashing to Froyo, and I've tried a few roms since Saturday and they all have this feature auto-enabled.
This normally wouldn't be an issue, but this week I have been traveling with my job and I have been using tethering quite a bit, and would like to be able to charge my phone from my laptop without mounting my SD card every time.
Is there a way to disable this feature? Also I'm not sure that it is a feature at this point, as I haven't seen any other forum posts about this one any of the Android forums and I can't be the only person who doesn't want this feature enabled by default.
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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe android camera API is bound to one camera device, but in some situation we have lots of camera device in a netbook or handset. We can't use the same application with different camera device dynamically. For example, we can select the camera device in the VLC (Video LAN Client) on windows because there is direct show on it, but we can't do that on android by camera API without changing the framework. Guys, is there any mistake at my understand? Is there any plan to modify framework to support this situation ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I spent the last hour or more in my backyard in 107 degrees taking pictures of flowers at stock settings with both phones. NOT an easy task I will tell you that. My back hurts, but besides that... I did my best to show the best quality of BOTH cameras, because they are both great. I realize that not everyone will agree with me, or will think I messed with something in my pictures. But these are all completely stock settings, not messed with at all. I only touched the flash on/off button.
My decision is I like the X camera better, it is easier to focus, and much snappier. Plus designated camera button! I found on the Incredible while the pictures look great on the phone itself and in gallery, that as soon as they were uploaded the colours looked washed out and not as great. I know this is due to the AMOLED screen. But both overall great. My decision is the X though.
X FLASH:
INC FLASH:
NOTE: Inc would NOT focus any closer without being extremely blurry, tried a gazillion times.
X NO FLASH:

I'm Trying to fine tune the Camera settings and was wondering if you guys changed the settings around and got better Pictures/Video and what did you change your settings to? I'm more concerned about fine tuning the video Settings even though i know both the Camera/Camcorder share the same settings.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've seen a lot of remarks about good call recorder apps for the EVO 4G. None of them are really that good or reliable.
To take advantage of native call recording on the EVO 4G, all you need to do is set the phone call to speaker after connected and then start the Voice Recorder app that comes with the phone. It records both sides of the conversation very clearly and you can adjust the speaker volume to about 75% for optimum audio capturing.
In the state of Texas, it is legal to record any conversation without informing the other party that you are doing so. Be sure to check with your state before recording any phone calls covertly.
I'm just looking at the Android's native IM app and wondering if it's possible to create new providers? I know other people have written seperate IM clients but it'd be great to add to list in the native IM app.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy team is currently trying to package a native .so library within an AIR APK. This native library is used by a native extension we've built, but the library is not the extension itself, therefore the standard process of creating an AIR APK with an extension does not include these libraries. We have to, somehow, instruct AIR to include the native libs in the packaging process.
The real headache is that for Android to link to these libraries, it appears that they must sit in the following directories (we have 2 .so files):
/lib
/armeabi
mynativelib.so
/armeabi-v7a
mynativelib.so
When using ADT we can include the /lib directory in the APK, but AIR sticks the /lib directory in the APK's /assets directory with the rest of the AIR files....but this does not work because Android does not appear to find the native libs.
how we can get this lib directory sitting at the root of the APK?
From within a native app, can I use a button to auto-launch the users settings control panel? Can this work across all Samsung Smartphones?
