I think we will be adding a general purpose callback mechanism from
camera to application. I have to think about how to make that work in
the MediaRecorder case without muddying things up too much. I believe
this will address your request.
There are also plans to add separate parameters for
We are not looking to allow the application to retrieve the preview
frames during video recording. The callback I talk about is for
another feature. I'll email you directly the general feature
description.
Another thought occurred to me, does the current architecture allow

Dave,
Can you explain a little further on what you mean when you say enable
a subset of safe API's?
Since a good percentage of the interface configuration is handled by
the Camera Parameters, and the Camera Parameters are pretty much an
direct interface between the App and the Camera HAL, I'm
I don't want to add another API to MediaRecorder.
We can add another parameter to the setParameter interface in the
camera HAL to indicate if the call comes from the owner of the camera.
The camera driver is then responsible for preventing other callers
from changing anything that might affect
We cannot allow the application to make any changes to the camera that
could potentially violate the contract between the camera and the
media recorder. For example, let's say that the video frame size is
set to CIF, and the application changes it to QCIF in the middle of a
recording. This will
