my wish is a little too general

[aggelos]

My wish from santa is for better attention/support in minor things.
let me give you an example.

i think the camera1.takepicture is useless if the camera is not focused

standar camera lib can't focus
cameraex can't focus either.
ACL can focus but it can't set picture orientation.
also reflection can't execute autofocus as Erel said in a post

for 2 days i am trying to get a correct picture and its problem after problem.
after all i ended up using ACL with some reflection from cameraex and using
jpegutils to set orientation.
oh and i also use RSImageprocessing to rotate the bitmap when needed.

2 days and 4 different things in order to take a picture.

should it be so hard?

PS and i forgot to mention that when i save the orientation with jpegutils it erases all the other exif info.
another problem created from nothing ,another day will be wasted to solve it

always with best intentions

CameraEx does allow you to set the camera to use auto-focus.

i am testing on a nexus s and my focus options are
auto,infinity,macro


when i set the focus to auto or AUTO in cameraex nothing happens
i believe this is the reason
"Applications should call autoFocus(AutoFocusCallback) to start the focus if focus mode is FOCUS_MODE_AUTO or FOCUS_MODE_MACRO."

Camera.Parameters | Android Developers

not all phones have working "continuous focus" mode
most have just auto

if i am doing it wrong please point me to the right direction.

You are correct. The AutoFocus method is missing and will be added to the Camera library.

It is available here: http://www.b4x.com/forum/additional...ial-updates/23799-camera-library-v2-20-a.html
Also check the updated CameraEx library.
