I am standing a bit in the dark with the android.hardware.Camera
class.

What I tried to do is taking a picture without starting preview first:
            Camera mCamera = Camera.open();
            mCamera.takePicture(null, null, mPictureCallback);

In the callback routine I get JPEG data of fixed length, always 52K
long. It has the right resolution but it's all black (independent of
the real object!!). Do you know if this is a bug? Do I need to start a
preview before taking a picture? Can this be done from within a
service (no activity)?
