Hi feiweiss, Yes, that's what I want to do. Exclusive lock on the camera which can be only unlocked by user through a pin. But I realised that by doing a Camera.open() it holds on to the camera resourses and other applications cannot use it but Android releases the camera after a short while and this method is also battery draining.
I trying to find a better way to acheive it but couldn't find any methods yet. Is there a way to do this? What I want to do is similar to setting restrictions functions available in iPhone. In iPhone it is part of the OS, here I am trying to do the same thing but in a form of app. The user can still kill the application though. Nothing like what Filip has mentioned :) Thanks and Regards, Perumal On Aug 19, 12:12 am, feweiss <fewe...@gmail.com> wrote: > Well, it seems like your main issue is how to use and/or maintain an > exclusion lock on the camera without your application having an > activity in the foreground.
