Thank you for your reply, Mark! My code checks for the types of focus available on the phone and calls 'autoFocus(...)' only when available and needed. Even so, the SDK documentation says that for devices that don't have auto-focus, the callback specified in the call to 'autoFocus(callback)' will be called immediately as if autofocus has been obtained. Quote from the JavaDoc on developer.android.com:
"If the camera does not support auto-focus, it is a no-op and onAutoFocus(boolean, Camera) callback will be called immediately." However, the link below says the HTC Hero for Sprint has autofocus: http://www.htc.com/us/products/hero-sprint#tech-specs Given all this, the IOException should not be thrown... But, obviously, it is :=) I patched the issue with catching the IOException and calling 'onAutoFocus(boolean,Camera)' in the catch-clause. I tested my app thouroughly on the emulator, G1, N1 and a Moto Droid and spent some time testing it on a Samsung Behold and a Motorola CLIQ. I haven't had access to a Hero and I have not been able to reproduce this error myself. Instead, I got one stack-trace e-mailed to me automatically from a customer running an HTC Hero on Sprint (users can agree to submit these error-reports/stack-traces automatically when the app force-closes).... ... which means that my patch may not work (i couldn't test it). This has been the only stack-trace sent to me with this particular problem. If other customers have HTC Heros, then they haven't encountered the problem (yet). I don't use <uses-feature>, because my app should work on phone witouth auto-focus. Can i send you a debug version of my app to your e-mail address? Thank you very much for your reply and help, Mark. -- Anton On Feb 22, 11:34 am, Mark Murphy <mmur...@commonsware.com> wrote: > Streets Of Boston wrote: > > Bump... > > ...
