Android Question MobileVision Camera Problem

[potman100]

Hi

I am using the following code to display and capture barcodes with mobile vision, all works fine until I load another activity like preferences, on closing the preferences screen the cam view has gone, I have had it working were it appears, but then it has no autofocus enabled, trying to restart autofocus does nothing !

#Region  Project Attributes
    #ApplicationLabel: Camera Test
    #VersionCode: 1
    #VersionName:
    'SupportedOrientations possible values: unspecified, landscape or portrait.
    #SupportedOrientations: portrait
    #CanInstallToExternalStorage: False
#End Region
#AdditionalJar: com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision
#BridgeLogger: true

#Region  Activity Attributes
    #FullScreen: True
    #IncludeTitle: False
#End Region

    Private detector As JavaObject
    Private SearchForBarcodes As Boolean
    Private LastPreview As Long
    Private IntervalBetweenPreviewsMs As Int = 500
    Private LastBarcode As String
    Dim manager As PreferenceManager
    Dim screen As PreferenceScreen
End Sub

    cat1.AddCheckBox("T1", "Test 1", "", True)
    cat1.AddCheckBox("T2", "Test 2", "", True)
    screen.AddPreferenceCategory(cat1)
End Sub

I have had it doing different things, but can't get it to work properly.

I knew is was some thing simple, brain freeze, I just added

Sub Activity_Resume
    Try
        
        InitializeCamera
        Dim operational As Boolean = detector.RunMethod("isOperational", Null)
        pnlScanner.Visible=True
        camEx.StopPreview
        camEx.StartPreview
        pnlScanner.Invalidate
    Catch
    End Try
End Sub
