CameraControl - Android

Post by Googie85 » Fri Jul 20, 2018 11:01 am

Hi Guys,

I am trying to take a photo from within android. The following code doesn't seem to work.

Code: Select all

cameraControlCreate "myFirstCamera"
      cameraControlSet "myFirstCamera", "visible", true
      cameraControlSet "myFirstCamera", "rect", "50,50,100,100"
      cameraControlSet "myFirstCamera", "device", "rear"
      cameraControlDo "myFirstCamera", "takePicture"
Any ideas are warmly welcomed!!

Thanks,

Googie.

      cameraControlDo "myFirstCamera", "takePicture"
      set defaultfolder to "/mnt/sdcard/"
      put the result into url ("file:snapshot.jpg")

Hi Googie,

try this:

Code: Select all

...
cameraControlDo "myFirstCamera", "takePicture"
put specialfolderpath("external documents") & "/snapshot.jpg" into tImageFile
put the result into url ("file:" & tImageFile)
...
I think -> specialfolderpath("external documents") IS in fact -> mnt/sdcard/
but this is official syntax and surely worth a try.

Hi Googie,

no, sorry, no idea.
I do not own a cellphone or tablet, so my knowledge is just theoretical... 8)

Why not use:

Code: Select all

...
mobilepickphoto "camera"
...
?

Klaus
