Hi, I'm developing an app that uses the camera, and aiming for Ovi Store.
One of the issues that Ovi QA complained about is that if the lens cover isn't opened, I should add a banner saying that to the user. That's easy enough, but when the user actually opens the lens cover, the camera app opens (but since my app has grabbed the camera, fails to start). Is there any way to block this while my app is running - since if the user has started my app, and my app displays a banner telling the user to open the lens cover, the user obviously don't want the camera app to start. I've tried to explore different ways to accomplish this, but most of them requires the app to run as root. One really simple way would be to do echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/cam_shutter/disable but that obviously requires root. I also tried to check what other apps, such as shortcutd do, but they don't seem to work as intended with the camera button on PR 1.2. Other ways to accomplish it would be to reroute/remove the signals, as outlined here: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=495516&postcount=72 But that requires root, too. And if the camera-ui process is killed, it respawns immediately. Any hints on how to solve this in the best way? I don't want my app to fail in the next QA round with the reason "camera app is launched and closes immediately if the lens cover is opened while your app is running". I guess I should discuss this issue with Ovi Publisher Support, too, but I don't really expect to get coding hints from there. // Martin _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
