Bug? Please fix return value of TakePictureNow in Camera2 lib. It should always return a byte array and never a Boolean.

[b4x-de]

TakePictureNow is expected to return a byte array as return value, i.e. in FocusAndTakePicture. But unfortunately it returns a Boolean value if task index does not match. This results in an exception: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Boolean cannot be cast to byte[]

Please see the following code that:

Public Sub TakePictureNow (MyTaskIndex As Int) As ResumableSub
    'If MyTaskIndex <> TaskIndex Then Return False ' This line causes an error
    If MyTaskIndex <> TaskIndex Then ' This might work
        Dim empty() As Byte
        Return empty
    End If
    Camera.AbortCaptures
    Dim builder As JavaObject = Camera.CreateCaptureBuilder
    CaptureSettingMap.Put("JPEG_ORIENTATION", GetHintOrientation)
    SetSettingsFromMap(builder, CaptureSettingMap)
    Dim CaptureRequest As Object = Camera.AddCaptureRequest(builder)
    If PrintKeys Then PrintAllKeys(CaptureRequest, "Capture Request")
    Wait For Camera_PictureTaken (Data() As Byte)
    StartPreview(MyTaskIndex, False)
    Return Data
End Sub

Fixed in v1.32.
