I have similar experiences. It seems you can have about 1 full size pic open (as a bitmap) and a few small ones. Anything extra will give you your error-message. In your example, until you call 'photo.recycle ()' you have 2 large bitmaps open at the same time at some point (photo and

It could be that during the construction of class test.check.Test1, a Handler or something similar (i.e. something needing the main-thread's message-queue) is constructed. Look at your test.check.Test1 implementation and see if this is the case. If this is the case, you will get an exception if

This is not the right solution, although it may work. It looks like your process can not be destroyed completely because there are still some running threads active. This is bad news. When your app's 'onDestroy' is called, make sure to properly stop these threads. Or at least let the operating

That's how it is. RAW data callback is not supported. The JPEG image data is the full-size image as it has been taken by the camera. Per default, it should be 2048*1536 px. And taking a picture takes this long, about a second. You can mitigate this by pre-focusing On Apr 10, 2:28 pm, srik
