Java Question Converting AndroidUSBCamera to B4A

[Alessandra Pellegri]

I am trying to convert this library to mke USB Camera working on B4a.

https://github.com/suethan/AndroidUSBCamera/blob/master/README.md

I am using SimpleLibraryCompiler tool, I modified the original library because as is it doesn't compile with this tool.

Now; if I compile the library without wrapper it compiles without errors (except for warnings ShortName missing).

I tried to create the wrapper:

import anywheresoftware.b4a.BA;
import anywheresoftware.b4a.BA.Author;
import anywheresoftware.b4a.BA.DependsOn;
import anywheresoftware.b4a.BA.ShortName;
import anywheresoftware.b4a.BA.Version;
import anywheresoftware.b4a.keywords.Common;
import com.dreamguard.api.USBCamera;

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.SurfaceTexture;
import android.hardware.usb.UsbDevice;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Surface;
import android.widget.Toast;

import com.dreamguard.usb.camera.CameraHandler;
import com.dreamguard.usb.detect.DeviceFilter;
import com.dreamguard.usb.detect.USBMonitor;
import com.dreamguard.usb.detect.USBStatus;

@Author("Suethan")
@Version(1.0f)
@ShortName("USBCamera")
public class USBCameraWrapper {
   public void init(Context context) {
       USBCamera.init(context);
   }
    }

but because I am not a Jva expert I have this error:

Starting step: Compiling Java code.

C:\Users\Tommaso\Desktop\CameraUSB\ee\src\main\java\com\dreamguard\USBCameraWrapper.java:26: error: non-static method init(Context) cannot be referenced from a static context

Error.

Could you help me ?

Thank you

Try this

camera = new USBCamera();
camera.init(context);

Now it compiles, but when I load libraries into B4A I obtain errors like this:

An error occurred.
Error parsing libraries.
com.dreamguard.widget.UVCCameraTextureView.HasTransient hastransientstate already exists.

 

[DonManfred]

com.dreamguard

add com.dreamguard to the b4aignore field in SLC

 

[Alessandra Pellegri]

OK, works.

Now when I try to compile this code:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
   'Activity.LoadLayout("Layout1")
   Dim hh As USBCamera
   hh.init(GetContext)
End Sub

Sub GetContext As JavaObject
   Return GetBA.GetField("context")
End Sub

Sub GetBA As JavaObject
   Dim jo As JavaObject
   Dim cls As String = Me
   cls = cls.SubString("class ".Length)
   jo.InitializeStatic(cls)
   Return jo.GetFieldJO("processBA")
End Sub

I obtain this error:

Init function already is the constructor of class USB camera, so why I obtain a NullPointerException ?

 

[Alessandra Pellegri]

Solved, I had to add

package anywheresoftware.b4a.objects;

at the top of the wrapper

 

[syerif]

can you share the lib please?

 

[bruno.ionaldo]

Perfect. It would be great to have access to Lib. Please.

Alessandra, is your lib 100% functional? I do need something like this and if it is fully tested and consistent I could buy it as long as you provide me with a sample code as well. Waiting for you.

Did you get a response? I am a bit puzzled there was no mention in the discussion about having to set "OTG" permission/setting. This is because I thought it was for "host" usage of USB.

Would love to get my hands on this lib or any other solution to use USB camera...
