Hi there,
I'm new to Android/AR development, and this toolkit looks pretty cool.
I was playing around with the VirtualButtons sample, and wanted to extend it by turning my device's (Nexus 1) built-in led-flash onto Torch mode to help in low-lighting conditions.
After a bit of playing around, I've managed to get the flash to turn on before the JNI call to startCamera(), but if i don't release the camera instance, the native camera interface can't access the camera (i'm guessing), so nothing displays on screen. If i release the camera instance, the light turns off :/
Digging into the native side of things, it looks like the QCAR::CameraDevice, doesn't expose this functionality at all.
Any suggestions on how one could do this?
Cheers,
Xerx
This probably won't be possible with the current release of the SDK, as the internal library has full ownership of the camera. I will make a feature request, however, and perhaps this functionality can be added to a later version.
