Android Question Camera as service

Celso · Apr 8, 2020

Hi all,

Someone know if is there a way to send image after minimize the software?
I'm using the following example: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/mjpeg-cctv-server.73792/#content

Tks a lot.

Sending the images is simple. The problem is with keeping the camera working. This is not possible with Camera or Camera2 libraries.

No, the Camera needs an Activity context.
One activity of your app must be in front.

Ok DonManfred, tks for your response, the question is, in a hiden activity it's possible ?
