HEy again. I'm almost sure the problem is as you mentioned that the camera is already in use.
I'm going from an activity that uses the camera (wikitude applicaiton) to an activity that still uses the camera (my own). I'm not sure what are my options here: Am I able to continue without releasing the camera or do I have to release the camera and then start again? Another issue that I'm having is that I can't seem to find any code on wikitude demonstration example that starts the camera so I'm not even sure how to stop it. Is there any general or standard mode of doing this? I mean.. release the camera independently from which activity I'm on at the moment? I would appreciate some insight. Thank you in advance.
