What about a more 'clean' solution? To act directly on the flash without directing the camera to a panel.

I'd rather not add views just to hide them, I was asking if there is a method to act just on the flash itself. If someone knows how to do this please share... Thank you!

I don't think that there is another option.

I tried to combine CameraEx with Zxing scanner library but it failed because the camera was occupied by CameraEx. Anybody have a solution?

I've a Flashlight app and I hide de camera panel with a perfect user experience. This procedure is totally transparent for the user.

This is exactly why I was asking about turning on just the flash! Having another panel with the camera content on would not work when the Zxing scanner is already working since the camera is already on. This would be the requirement.

Yes. You can turn on the flash with CameraEx class.
