hi, i have an application which opens a Camera and then installs itself as a preview frame handler. it then logs frames to the disk, gzipping them on the way so as to keep the file size manageable. this application works like a charm under the emulator.
however on the G1, all shit breaks loose. the VM runs out of memory almost immediately and, after a few flailing attempts to deal with the situation, crashes with a SIGSEGV. in order to take my code out of the equation, i installed the ApiDemos application on the G1 and messed around with its Camera Preview stuff. no problem there. so then i installed some frame-writing code in a preview handler and got the same results as my application. i took the gzipping out, logging the frames raw, and the VM survived quite a bit longer before dying. conclusion 1: something in the hardware Camera code really doesn't like clients doing stuff in the preview frame handler, and catastrophe results. conclusion 2: i am starting to suspect a conspiracy which is trying to prevent anyone capturing video on Android ;-) i'll probably log this as a bug tonight, with accompanying crash logs etc. thanks, j --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
