Hi everybody!

In my project I need to take an undetermined number of photos, I'm using CameraEX class and works fine BUT I have the next error:

** Service (starter) Create **
** Service (starter) Start **
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
** Activity (main) Resume **
~w:1004,main,231
~w:1004,main,307

java.io.IOException: setPreviewTexture failed

This happens when I use next piece of code, that also works:

Sub RemoveViews
Dim i As Int
For i = Activity.NumberOfViews - 1 To 108 Step -1
Activity.RemoveViewAt(i)
Next
End Sub

I invoke the camera routine from an Imageview control inside a CustomListView, so the user can choose which one could have a photo, that why I must close and open the camera several times. Please help to understand how to close this class wihout errors.
I've uploaded the source code as well.
Thanks to all.

Neve mind, I fixed this problem, I changed the code in btnSalida button that exits this sub and the error disappeared. Thanks anyway

Sub btnSalida_Click
RemoveViews
camEx.Release
End Sub
