Chip Matthes commented on CB-193:
---------------------------------
Couple of additional notes:
1) Upgraded to PhoneGap 1.4 and problem persists
2) Can replicate it on a second Droid X, so the issue is not with the specific
handset
> Android camera bug, caused by out of memory error?

> Key: CB-193
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-193
> Project: Apache Callback
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.3.0
> Environment: Android
> Reporter: Steve Gill
> Labels: android
>
> We have a guy on our support forms who has been running into issues with the
> android camera. I am going to paste some of his findings below.
> We've done a bunch of testing, and it looks like the problem is not
> specifically with the Droid X, but rather with how PhoneGap handles memory
> management for the Camera API.
> If lots of other apps are running, then the app restarts after the camera API
> is called, a picture taken, and "saved". If only a few apps are running (i.e.
> there is more free memory), then the camera API works as designed and the
> user is returned to the app after taking and saving the picture.
> The Android Camera issues are becoming a show-stopper for us. We've tried
> installing the latest nightly builds that supposedly fix the problems, but
> Phonegap still crashes on a Droid when taking a picture.
> This problem is not at all isolated to us. For now, it seems that Phonegap is
> unusable as an app platform for Android if the camera is involved.
> Are there any plans to escalate this issue so Android Apps using the camera
> can be deployed?
> Here's how widespread this issue is:

> Seems like he is having the issue mainly with Droid X (Android 2.3)
> I will send him this link and get him to come give more details on the issue.
