I think you get that if the Camera is already open. That could mean: -- something else has the camera -- your camera wasn't fully released yet There have been enough complaints about the latter that I suspect there is a time gap between release() and when the camera is truly released and available to open() again. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in Atlanta: http://bignerdranch.com/classes/android -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
