Android Question hidden camera pic ?

[Devv]

is it possible to take a hidden picture from the both cameras ?
i mean without displaying the preview or the activity

The picture can be taken when the preview is visible, but you can put the view on which it is displayed in a way that only one pixel is visible, and that is enough.
The activity must be on but you can make it minimal but not showing any other view on it and closing it as soon as the picture is taken.
