Hi, I am trying to by-pass the default camera viewfinder and making an application which will give the Surfaceview some continuous jpeg frames (instead of getting it from Camera view finder)., but I have realized its quiet a gigantic task and I have to modify the files in the framework/core/jni(native calls), framework/core/java and services and client as well and even the CameraHardware.cpp for this as Surfaceview(Surfaceholder instance) connected with the mCamera instance (as the fully initialized SurfaceHolder is to be passed to the setPreviewDisplay()(which is connectd with the Camera Hardware code).So i wanted to ask these questions:
(1) Is it possible to bypass the default camera view finder at the application (android application code) level. (2) I am able to generate the video by passing the continuous jpeg frames to * image view*(running in a thread being spawned form the main thread until i press stop), can I also in some way pass these frames to Surface holder(surface view so that I can see the video in the viewfinder- my understanding is that Surface holder is responsible for the viewfinder on the camera) (3) Any other way to implement this without delving deep into the Android framework. Plz suggest . Rgds and Thanks for your reply Saurabh -- unsubscribe: android-kernel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-kernel
