front camera with dell Streak - Android Software Development

Hi Everybody,
I'm quite a new android developer (but not a begineer in software development), and I'm developing a simple application using the front camera (it is basically a mirror application ). My application is available in the market under the following name: MagicMirror-Lite
As the second camera seems not to be a standard in the android sdk, I need to find how to use the front camera for each device.
I already find how to use samsung galaxy S and sprint devices but I need now to know how to access to the front camera on the dell streak.
Does anyone can help me on this?
Many thanks in advance,
cheers.

would you be willing to share how you got to the second camera? I'm coming up empty and have an i-mobile i858 with a second camera but no way beyond its built in camera.apk to get to it.
The android camera api is worthless here.

Camera driver

Hi!
I have to develop an application for the XDA II. The application has to take a picture and then make an image processing algorithm. The problem is that I don't know how to access to the camera functions.
Does anybody know how to make it?
Thank you
Jon
this info is not yet available :-(

WLAN Camera tool ?

Hi !!
Has anyone seen or heard of an application that lets one access the built-in camera via wlan ? I'm thinking of using my phone as a security cam ...
Thanks !!
More Camera Function for your buck
Any programmers out there? Gurus, god like creatures, avatars, superheros, and supreme beings..... PLEASE can any of you develop a program to allow us to get more functionality out of the camera:
1. As indicated, as a security camera
2. Instant Messenger or alternative instant chat by camera over WIFI rather than needing a video call
3. Perhaps even, maybe possibly, enable the camera flashlight also.....
4. Remote control operation from PC
5. Remote control operation over the web!!
I'll tip in some bucks for it and I am sure given the number of forums on this, that others will also.
Alas, mine is the JJ rather than wizard, but I think many and all would like some additional apps and functions out of the cameras.

Camera Application

Hey Guys!
Is it possible to program an own camera application which not starts the standard camera application of windows mobile?
So that not the user decides when the cam shoot a picture!
For Example: A Thread is taking every 3seconds a picture or capture a video.
application development system: visual2005
device: HTC Advantage - Ameo
OS: WM5 (WM6 possible)
An open source app would be helpfull too!
Thank you!
Perhaps someone can help me with Directshow ?
Any good Tutorials ?
Or perhaps a short directshow code (c++) which only take a picture and save it. The CameraCapture Example is very complicate for a direct show newbie There are too many things which i dont need and its hard to find out the important lines :/
Would be nice if someone could help

[Q] Panoramic and other photo modes

In WinMo version of the HD2, one of the photo types you can take is Panoramic. It's something I used off and on. I went to use it today in Android, and booo it's not there.
Does anyone know if a feature like this will be implimented in the standard Android camera or would you need a specialized app for that?
you have a question, post in Q and A not in development.

Using Dual-Camera to produce a stereostopic view in realtime

Hey there,
I tried to create an app with the HTC One M8 and it´s Duallens "depthsensor".
The problem is that there is no way to activate the second rear camera in android.
In android.hardware.camera package there are some hidden methods like : enableSubCam...so I´ll tried to use java reflection to activate these SubCam, but it doesn´t work at all...
I need some depth information in realtime for my application and I thought with the new DualLens this would be possible.
Also I tried to understand the HTC DualLens SDK, but all this stuff works on an jpg format and without creating an new depthMap
So what do you think is the best method to access 1. the second rear camera or 2. directly some kind of depthMap with help from HTC SDK?

i remember there was an app (german) that take 2 pictures at the same time from both rear cameras but the app was just to show that both work so it was like open app>automatic capture>save both pictures>exit.
got it : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722352
yeah I´ve seen this app, but it´s hard coded on the linux kernel ...
and like I said I´ll try to calculate the depthMap in realtime, so a continious Depth-Matrix with opencv for example and not just a jpg
isn´t there a possibility to access the hardware components of an smartphone and activate them?

like I said in the first post, I´ve tried to understand the SDK, but in my oppinion it´s not for creating a file...
you´re just allowed to use the already created depth information of an jpg-file...
or has anyone made some other experiences with the SDK?
Have you solved the problem?
Hi,
I have the similar situation and would like to know if you have found a solution to this problem.
I agree with you that the SDK provided by the HTC website is for depth info extraction from already created image. The SDK is not viable for realtime depth processing.
Please let me know if you have the solution for this problem.
Thanks!
