Error when trying to use the flash.on() method for android torch app

[Sulav Rai]

I am building an app that turns an Android flashlight on and off. I have debugged a lot but I do not know how to fix this error that shows up in the Logcat debugger.

jnius.jnius.JavaException: Cannot call instance method b'getParameters' on class b'android/hardware/Camera'

The relevant code snippit is below  

import json from kivy.app import App from kivy.core.window import Window # For the Background colour from kivy.lang import Builder from kivy.properties import ObjectProperty from kivy.uix.screenmanager import ScreenManager, Screen from datetime import datetime from plyer import flash from kivy import platform if platform == "android": from android.permissions import request_permissions, Permission request_permissions([Permission.CAMERA]) class LockMain(Screen): def torch(self): # Will turn the torch on flash.on()

Plyer is not well maintained.
If it works, great. If not figure out how to do what you want with Pyjnius and the Android api.

Also, unrelated, calling permissions like that is a problem, See the second paragraph here
