Hi Tim,

Thanks for the reply. This is what i tried. But seems to be not working...


//Called when application is started. 
function OnStart() 
{    
    //Fix orientation to landscape since 
    //most phone's cameras work this way.    
    app.SetOrientation( "Landscape" ); 
       
    //Create horizontal layout that fills the screen. 
    lay = app.CreateLayout( "Linear", "Horizontal,FillXY,VCenter" ); 
    lay.SetBackground( "/res/drawable/pattern_carbon", "repeat" ); 
  
    //Create camera view control. 
    cam = app.CreateCameraView( 0.6, 0.8 );     
    cam.SetMargins( 0, 0, 0.04, 0 ); 
    lay.AddChild( cam );   
     
    //Create vertical layout on right for other stuff. 
    layRight = app.CreateLayout( "Linear", "Vertical" ); 
    lay.AddChild( layRight ); 

    //Create image control for previewing pictures. 
    img = app.CreateImage( null, 0.18, 0.22 );   
    img.SetBackColor( "#ff000000" ); 
    layRight.AddChild( img );       
     
    //Set target image for picture previews. 
    cam.SetPreviewImage( img ); 
     
    //Create shutter button. 
    btn = app.CreateButton( "Snap", 0.2, 0.15, "Alum" ); 
    btn.SetMargins( 0, 0.06, 0, 0 ); 
    btn.SetOnTouch( btn_OnTouch ); 
    layRight.AddChild( btn );  
     
    //Add main layout to app. 
    app.AddLayout( lay ); 
     
    //Create a folder for snaps. 
    snapFolder = "/sdcard/Snaps"; 
    app.MakeFolder( snapFolder ); 
     
    //Start preview after 1 second. 
cam.SetFlash("on");
    setTimeout( "cam.StartPreview()", 1000); 
} 

//Handle shutter button. 
function btn_OnTouch() 
{ 
    //Take a picture and store to sdcard. 
//cam.Setflash("on");


 cam.TakePicture( snapFolder + "/Snap.jpg" ); 


   cam.SetFlash("off");
}

Hi Selami,
I tried your app too but it would be better if you write in english too, I dont understand any word in your app :-) I think its a about box if I press the back button? And the text will be not displayed complete...
And why do you need wlan permission in your app?
Many Greetings

Hi Guys

Just a quick note about using the CameraView - it has a SetOnReady() function that you can use to pass a callback to be called when the camera is ready to be used:

cam = app.CreateCameraView( 0.6, 0.8 );

cam.SetOnReady(OnCameraReady);

....

//Called when camera is ready.
function OnCameraReady()
{
    cam.SetFlash(true);
    cam.StartPreview();
}

Using this method means you shouldn't have to use a timeout to start the camera preview.

Thanks

Chris
