B4X:
Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Activity.LoadLayout("main")
    Cam1.Initialize(pnlCamera, "Cam1")
  
End Sub

Sub Activity_Resume
  
    Activity.AddMenuItem("flash","mnuFlashOn")
    Activity.AddMenuItem("crop","crop")
  
End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)
    Cam1.StopPreview
    Cam1.Release
End Sub

Sub mnuFlashOn_Click
    Cam1.FlashOn()
End Sub



Sub Cam1_Ready (Success As Boolean)
    'camera is ready
    If Success Then
        Cam1.Oriportrait
        Cam1.PictureSize(480,320)
        Cam1.StartPreview  
    Else
        ToastMessageShow("Cannot open camera.", True)
    End If
End Sub

Sub Cam1_PictureTaken2 (Data() As Byte)


    Dim dt As String
  
    Try
        File.MakeDir(File.DirRootExternal, "pics/")
    Catch
  
    End Try
  
    DateTime.DateFormat = "yyyyMMddHHmmssSSS" ' See this page regarding uppercase letters.
  
    dt = DateTime.Date(DateTime.Now)
  
    Dim Out As OutputStream

Try

ToastMessageShow("Saving huge file now",True)

Activity.Invalidate
    DoEvents()
  
    Out = File.OpenOutput(File.DirRootExternal & "/pics/", "out.jpg", False)
  
    Out.WriteBytes(Data, 0, Data.Length)
  
    Out.Flush
  
    Out.Close                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
  
  
Catch
    Msgbox("Bombs out copying photo to DirRootExternal","Error")
End Try
      Cam1.StartPreview
     Button1.Visible = True
     Button1.Invalidate
     Activity.Invalidate
    DoEvents()
End Sub

Sub mnuTakePicture_Click

  
    button1_click
End Sub

Sub mnuFocusMode_Click
  
    'Cam1.setFocusMode = "MACRO"
  
End Sub


Sub button1_click
     Button1.Visible = False
     Button1.Invalidate
  
    Activity.Invalidate
    DoEvents()
  
'Cam1.Quality = 50
'Cam1.Quality = 70
Cam1.FocusMode = "MACRO"
Cam1.Quality = 100
Cam1.TakePicture2(90)
End Sub



how could i crop the token image so it marches the rectangle on all devices regardless of screen size or camera resolution of the device !?

btw the rectangle is an image view

ImageView1.Top = 0
ImageView1.Left = 0
ImageView1.Width = 100%x
ImageView1.Height = 80%y


here is the rectangle png
