[android-developers] Re: Camera Focus Facility
Camera.autoFocus(cb); where cb is a callback function you supply that tells you focus is successful or not.

[android-developers] Re: Camera Focus Facility
Hi, thanks for the hint! I've tried that but I got this: java.io.IOException: autoFocus failed I registered the callback in CameraActivity.surfaceCreated() method. Could you advice on how to get that working? Thank you!

Sounds like you might have some sequencing issues. Did you call startPreview first? On Jan 20, 2:51 pm, "mobilek...@googlemail.com" wrote: > Hi, thanks for the hint!

Could you list the proper sequence as I'm having hard time working it out! Thanks On Jan 21, 3:21 am, Dave Sparks wrote: > Sounds like you might have some sequencing issues.

[android-developers] Re: Camera Focus Facility
Roughly:
Camera mCamera = Camera.open();
// this sequence should occur after onResume and surfaceCreated
mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(mSurfaceHolder); // saved from
surfaceCreated call
mCamera.startPreview();
// to start focus - usally called from your onClickListener
mCamera.autoFocus(afCallback);
// to take picture - usually called from your onClick listener
mCamera.takePicture(shutterCallback, null, pictureCallback);
// auto focus callback
public void autoFocusCallback(boolean focused, Camera camera) {
// play focused sound
}
// shutter callback function
public void shutterCallback() {
// play shutter sound
}
// picture callback function
public void pictureCallback(byte rawData[], Camera camera) {
// save JPEG
}
You should also note that there is significant lag from the time
takePicture() is called until the image capture begins. You can
shorten this time by calling auto-focus first. You don't want to move
the camera until after the shutter callback.
