In the app I'm working on, I'm using Camera.addCallbackBuffer and Camera.setPreviewCallbackWithBuffer to control the camera preview. BTW, this has been one of the best fixes in Froyo yet! No more GC anymore!
I'm trying to take a picture, and sometimes it works, saving the image to the sd card, and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't work, the preview is frozen, but the app is still running. For instance, I can still call up the menu. So its not locking up the app at all. I've tracked it down to a memory allocation issue I believe. It seems that the camera is using the buffers from the preview to store the picture data. I could be wrong about this. I've upped the memory buffers used in the addCallbackBuffer, and it seems it fix the problem, but shouldn't there be a seperate buffer for the snapped picture data? Is there a way to allocate a buffer for the Camera.takePictureCallback routine to store the data into? Is there a better way to make sure the Camera has enough memory to use the addCallbackBuffers and take a full size photo? Is anyone else experiencing this problem using the camera preview buffers and taking a full size picture? Any help is greatly appreciated.
