I noticed that in Android 2.2 and earlier I must do either a
FULL_WAKE_LOCK or a combination of PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK and
FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON to make sure the camera does not get turned off
after a while with my app in the foreground (and I need a wake lock to
keep GPS going). The underlying assumption seems to be that the camera
is not useful when the screen is off, but that assumption is false for
computer vision applications where not the user but the program is
watching the camera view. Is this fixed in Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)?

Thanks
