J Jeorge Lumaban Member Licensed User Jan 8, 2016 #1 Hi All, I'm new to B4A programming. I'm doing a project to access the camera for android phone using PC application Is there a way or hint to start with this. I search some IP Cam or DroidCam from store needed to install for the phone and a separate application. Is there a way that I can directly control the camera using only PC application via USB. Im using Aforge.net library for image processing. If not what android library should be use for some kind of DroidCam application? Thanks in advance. Jeorge

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Jan 8, 2016 #4 USB connection by itself is not enough. Only if USB debug mode is configured and enabled you can create a network connection over USB. Upvote 0

Hi Manfred I check the application and great it works.. I'm a VB net developer and try to convert the PC application from C# to VB.net and it didn't works.. Is there a problem if I was using high version of net framework compare to the sample application? Thanks.. Upvote 0

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 18, 2016 #15 No. The connection must be initiated from the pc to the android. It should be simple to switch the tasks. As I previously wrote you should use B4J to implement the PC side. This example is the simplest one: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4j-cctv-example.34695/ Upvote 0
