Hi, I have a location based application that depending on the position of the use relating to a certain spot it turns on the camera. In layman terms, when there's proximity to a place it triggers the camera.
If I'm already near the sport when it's suppose to trigger ( I've build a proximity algorithm based on user position (lat,long) and the spot position) the camera mode opens just fine trough an intent that calls the activity where the camera access is implemented. But if I'm walking towards the spot and the trigger is set I get an error. This is the logcat: 11-27 20:03:42.451: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to uncaught exception 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): java.lang.RuntimeException: Fail to connect to camera service 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at android.hardware.Camera.native_setup(Native Method) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at android.hardware.Camera.<init>(Camera.java:85) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at android.hardware.Camera.open(Camera.java:67) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at com.pedroteixeira.thennnow.thenNnowMode.surfaceCreated(thenNnowMode.java: 229) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at android.view.SurfaceView.updateWindow(SurfaceView.java:392) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at android.view.SurfaceView.dispatchDraw(SurfaceView.java:264) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at android.view.ViewGroup.drawChild(ViewGroup.java:1524) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at android.view.ViewGroup.dispatchDraw(ViewGroup.java:1256) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at android.view.ViewGroup.drawChild(ViewGroup.java:1524) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at android.view.ViewGroup.dispatchDraw(ViewGroup.java:1256) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at android.view.View.draw(View.java:6277) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at android.widget.FrameLayout.draw(FrameLayout.java:352) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at android.view.ViewGroup.drawChild(ViewGroup.java:1526) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at android.view.ViewGroup.dispatchDraw(ViewGroup.java:1256) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at android.view.View.draw(View.java:6277) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at android.widget.FrameLayout.draw(FrameLayout.java:352) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow $DecorView.draw(PhoneWindow.java:1883) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at android.view.ViewRoot.draw(ViewRoot.java:1332) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at android.view.ViewRoot.performTraversals(ViewRoot.java:1097) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at android.view.ViewRoot.handleMessage(ViewRoot.java:1613) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:123) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:4203) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:521) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit $MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:791) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:549) 11-27 20:03:42.541: E/AndroidRuntime(1380): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) Does anyone have any idea what can it be?
