There needs to be a way to programmatically focus the camera

I've searched for any hidden camera streamer for android. I've found lots of RTMP streamers but they all need activity for a SurfaceView for preview action. I've found based on your library and other questions like in this link and this link but failed to create a streamer. Other resources and links I've checked:

• https://github.com/begeekmyfriend/yasea

• https://github.com/sprimgupta/Secret-Video-Recorder

• https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/212685/stream-live-video-from-android-to-rtmp-server

• TakuSemba/RtmpPublisher#28

Looking for any answer.
Regards

if i want to take picture more times, it fails

When running the hidden camera using this code
mCameraConfig = new CameraConfig()
.getBuilder(this)
.setCameraFacing(CameraFacing.FRONT_FACING_CAMERA)
.setCameraResolution(CameraResolution.HIGH_RESOLUTION)
.setImageFormat(CameraImageFormat.FORMAT_JPEG)
.setImageRotation(CameraRotation.ROTATION_270)
.build();

I keep getting App passed NULL surface error. The mCameraConfig has been properly constructed

can anyone provide an example to capture image in background??

I got this warning using HiddenCameraService
W/WindowStateAnimator: OutOfResourcesException creating surface
I/WindowManager: Out of memory for surface! Looking for leaks...
W/WindowManager: No leaked surfaces; killing applicatons!

fix this issue:

add this code in CameraPreview.java

void stopAndRelease() {
    //Fix Surface memory leak
    destroyDrawingCache();
    stopPreviewAndFreeCamera();
    if (mHolder != null) {
        mHolder.removeCallback(this);
        mHolder.getSurface().release();
    }
 }

and change HiddenCameraService.java

change mCameraPreview.stopPreviewAndFreeCamera(); to mCameraPreview.stopAndRelease();

bit late to the party i guess, but there was an issue with the picture, the camera is always focusing above the head of the person.

Hi.
So not all devices support camera autofocus but the still have camera and can use them.
You have to add
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" android:required="false" />
in your manifest so that thous devices can install the app that uses your library.
Repo example that had the same problem. Scroll bottom to see fix.

I'm trying to take more pictures in the background every 5 seconds, but give me this error Can not create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare ()

Has anyone tried to do something like this or did it?

When open camera from the service app get freeze some second. Is there any way to run this smoothly? I user Handler and no luck.

I'm using DemoCamActivity in my device (Android 5.0.1 API 21) and sometimes I got this error: CameraError.ERROR_CAMERA_OPEN_FAILED. And the toast that states it.
But oddly, sometimes it works as expected.

Possibles ideas on what could be happening this issue?

So it only shows up on GL g6 with android 8.1.1. I guess its related to
"For Android API level of 8.0.0, you should use
WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY
instead of LayoutParams.TYPE_TOAST or TYPE_APPLICATION_PANEL or SYSTEM_ALERT."

Hello, this is a great library and I used it a lot.
I have a question. Can I can clear the application cache after takePicture() is called?
Correct me if I'm wrong. I think this library take the picture and save it in the application cache. So whenever takePicture() is called, the application cache is keep increasing.

Hi Keval :)

Thank you so much for creating this awesome hidden camera library.

I was wondering if we have the mechanism to rename the imageFile generated from the Hidden Camera? :)

Thank you so much for your reply. :)

Hi,

Can someone please suggest how to take multiple images with the help of the service -- one after other repeatedly say for like 3 times (or if possible, take all at the same time without doing the saveImage first.)

Thank you!

hi, i'm facing some problem with this library

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54207900/kotlin-android-capture-image-in-background

@kevalpatel2106 any plans to migrate this to Camera2 now that Camera is deprecated?

Hello sir ,
we have implement these repo with using foreground services in lower version its working fine but when we go for higher version (OS 8.0.0) like Oreo . It gets hang our device.
We want to capture images continuously through using service either job scheduler.

Please help us regarding that issues, that how can i implement this feature with continuous capturing.

Thanks
Mayuri

In O OS, after the picture is clicked in service, I am not able to access the device until I restart it. I think the fake surface is not getting removed as I am not able to swipe or open any other app, but I am able to access notification panel and also notification is showing in notification panel that my app is displaying over other apps continuously. Please help

When i click takepicture in second time. i get error
i think it has been handling in takePicture() method.

On same activity Only front camera works, rear camera doesn't work parallel.

I tried calling takePicture() within the onImageCapture callback but that throws an error...

Any suggestions?

There is some delay when the HiddenCameraService is started (please refer 1st and 2nd lines from below log).

Then after a while (about 5-10 seconds), the image is captured (pls refer 3rd line in the below log)

D/Camera: app passed NULL surface
I/Choreographer: Skipped 47 frames! The application may be doing too much work on its main thread.
D/Image capture: 1376498

Device: Moto G4+

Any way to do a video recording with this? Any plans on adding that feature?

What is the best approach to handle camera not instantiating error is there a way to retry opening the camera after the error?

In this current version I think when we take new image it replace the previous one. I think it better to create new image file.
