Android Question Camera Ex error

[Avansys]

Sometimes when I try to use the camera, while activity starts, I get a black screen for a while and then appears the follow errors: camera_focusdone: AutoFocus error, camera_ready: java.lang.RuntimeException: Fail to connect to camera service.
Here is an example of the errors:

Does it happen with the CameraEx example?

 

[Avansys]

Not exactly with CameraEx example, but I based in it to implement my code.

 

[Erel]

Try to reproduce it with CameraEx example.

 

[Avansys]

Try to reproduce it with CameraEx example.

Ok I'm going to try =)

 

[Avansys]

I tried the cameraex example and if I give a few clicks at the same time to take the photo, the application crashes and the camera stops working (in any application).

I know this is not a correct use, but What can I do to prevent camera crashes?

You can disable the button when you take the picture and enable it a few seconds later (with a timer).

 

[Avansys]

Yeah, I already had implemented it, but what I wanted was to avoid the problem not the cause of the problem.

Finally I decided to use the EZCamera library.

Thanks
