mobile camera
I am trying to build a robot application for the Kindle fire. OS 5 and api 22.
Using mobilePickPhoto "camera" does in fact open the camera app but:
1) Using the rear facing camera
2) Requires the user to press the shutter release to take a photo
mobilePickPhoto "front camera" does not solve 1 above.
Also upon capturing the photo manually, I still must (manually shut down the camera app.
I would expect to have live code access to the image however it seems the return is empty.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
My objective is to place the Kindle Fire inside a closed portable device and be able to automatically obtain a front camera image to process without human intervention.

Re: mobile camera
Advanced mobile camera support will be only available in livecode 8 licensed version (no community).
As you pointed at the present livecode just launches the Android camera program and user has to change rear/front camera and click.

Re: mobile camera
First: I suggest you to open new thread, otherwise very old and long thread are usually ignored.
Second: what version of livecode do you use? Community (free) or any commercial version?

Re: mobile camera
The advanced features about camera are not public, so you have to contact support@livecode.com to know if you can do it with the commercial versions.

Re: mobile camera
It's in the release notes, page 39. The advanced controls are also in Indy apparently.

Re: mobile camera
What rymonsandy described sounds like a bug. Doesn't sound advanced features are needed, just the ones that are there need to work.

Re: mobile camera
Is this a "pay to code" marketing strategy or does this have other reasons?Advanced camera controls are in the Business edition.
Are there any workarounds (externals?) for community edition

Re: mobile camera
I was hoping to find documentation on the "advanced camera features" to see if those would cover what you need, but I was unable to turn up anything at LiveCode.com and the Release Notes for v9 say only:
I think there's probably more to the "advanced camera features" than that. But where are they documented?Allow cameraControl to record without video, or without audio.
The videoDevice & audioDevice cameraControl properties now accept the empty string in order to
disable recording from those input devices.

Re: mobile camera
Look up "cameracontrol" in the dictionary. At least in LC 8.1.7 and updated with more features in LC 9.0 DP8 (I think).
