Unless you want problems (technical or user), activities should release the Camera in onPause(), or at the very latest onStop(). If Wikitude is not doing this, and Wikitude is starting your activity, then you need to talk to the authors of Wikitude. > 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.

If you open in (onStart() or onResume()), you release it (onPause() or onStop()). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training...At Your Office: http://commonsware.com/training -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
