Hi Jason, I am not sure if you understood my question correctly... maybe I didn't frame it right :)
I am trying to start a background activity, for e.g. the accelerometer from within the Camera app. I want the accelerometer to run while the user is shooting a video. I don't want to build my own video recorder (which I have before) coz it doesn't do better than 320 x 240. So basically, I want to be able to call the Camera app, and use the camera/video button (on-screen or the hard button) to trigger the accelerometer. Could you help?
