[jira] [Created] (CB-1459) Camera features don't work in Android.
trusktr created CB-1459:
---------------------------
Summary: Camera features don't work in Android.
Key: CB-1459
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1459
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Android, CordovaJS
Environment: Android 4.x.x
Reporter: trusktr
Assignee: Joe Bowser
Priority: Critical
Trying to shoot a photo from within a PhoneGap app doesn't work for me in Android 4.x.x on my Galaxy S3. Whenever I try to take a photo from a PhoneGap app, a dialog pops up asking me to select which camera app to use, then I select the default camera and I am presented with the camera app but the screen is black and I cannot take a picture. Pressing the back button does nothing. I have to exit by pressing the home button. Sometimes, it leads me to a blank screen with nothing at all. I am not able to shoot a photo.
I've tried ensuring that "Standard limit" is set in [Settings >> Developer options >> Limit background processes] but that doesn't have any effect.

-----------------------------
Sorry, about that. The problem is gone now. It started happening in another app. I turned off Android's new background process limiting option and all seems to be back to normal, except I have many background processes. haha.

-----------------------------------
After spending way too much time on trying to make the Camera API work and failing at that, I stumbled on clues about "Background process limit" were the key for me that got my app working. FINALLY! On my HTC One V phone, I went to Settings / Developer Options and set these parameters as shown:
Don't Keep activities (Unchecked)
Background process limit (4)
Show all ANRs (checked)
My local testing devices get the same good result using an Android App returned from today's PhoneGap Build online, these are:
HTC One V (Android 4.0.3)
Nexus 7 Tablet (Android 4.1.2)
I am happy to share a package of my CameraDemo App code, as used in PhoneGap's default 2.1 version build:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/101475647/CameraDemo.zip
In my desperation to make this work, I added some messages to track "state", you will see a "Device Resumed" Alert. So happy to see that as this means that my app us still running and now processes the picture I took. Definitely using DestinationType.FILE_URI to try to pass back the picture's file address, rather than the blob of base64 data.
Hope this helps some buddy.

--------------------------------
I'm not seeing this on the Samsung Galaxy SII when I install Pudding Camera (I don't know why this camera is called this). I'm going to mark this as Minor, since it seems to only affect the S3.

--------------------------------
What other application do you have installed for camera? I haven't seen that behaviour on the Samsung Galaxy S2 with only the default camera installed.
