Android Question Take camera pictures in service background

[prokli]

How can I make pictures with my camera without loading a activity (layout!) with a predefined panel? I would like to create some photos via a service running in background without any visible GUI.

Thanks, Harald

You should ALWAYS create a NEW THREAD for your question(s)!
Posting to an existing thread is the wrong way to ask for help.

You can not use an activity from a service. Though you can call a sub in the activity.
You must use an activity to capture a picture from the camera.
