I know it's not the cleanest in terms of solutions, but the way I see it is if Nokia really wished for developers to have a proper solution, they'd've introduced one in PR 1.1/1.1.1/1.2. Since they didn't appear to care, I can only conclude that hacks are the way to go. :) BlessN900 will start camera-ui again after it's closed by running "dsmetool -t" IIRC; and, TBH, this behaviour (stopping camera-ui on start and loading it up again on exit) makes sense because you wouldn't be able to run the Camera app anyway whilst your program is running. Of course, once camera-ui is running again, opening the lens cover/pressing the camera button proceed to perform their default functions. > I guess I'll have to discuss it with Ovi Publisher Support then, if this > is acceptable (disabling both the lens cover open action and the camera > button), or if it is better to spuriously launch the camera app when the > lens cover is opened. > My thoughts on the former are above (I'd find it rather dodgy if they were to refuse your app due to it stopping camera-ui) and the latter just really seems like an inconvienence to your users. :\ Qik took another approach: it'd tell the user to open the cover and wait. When the camera application popped up onto the screen, Qik'd close the window and proceed to carrying on as normal. Anyway, best of luck getting your application into the Ovi Store!
