Thank you Marcin and ko5tik. I understand that we can use the camera HW and the camera app is just an app like mine.
My business logic works around image clicking time and conditions like the state of the phone and not the clicking process per-se. But I don't want to compete with camera app creators because I don't want to repliacte, rather can't, replicate their functionality. The picture modes and stuff. Is there anyway I can bank on the camera the user is already using? The simplest way would be to create an activity which the user can launch. This activity gets the phone state and then launches the default camera. Any other thoughts? I also want to get some ui inputs in thiis activity in the form of checkboxes but I want to make this as unobstrucive as possible. Any thoughts on ui designs?

You can't overlay existing app. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
