Live data from camera

[PsmithR]

I'm sorry if this sounds like a noobie question, but I'm really new to mobile app development:

Is there a way to get the datastream from the camera !?! I have an algorithm that does face/smile detection. I would like to write an app that uses it to detect smiling faces in real time before the photo is taken (sort of like what you get on many cameras already).

This is currently not possible (without writing a MediaRecorder library that supports video).

OK. Thank you for replying so quickly. I'll try taking photos with the camera, processing them and displaying them in succession. I doubt it will be smooth though.

The advanced camera library has the onpreviewframe which you can work with.
