Go to the Android Developers Guide (http://developer.android.com/guide/index.html) and search for "camera". The first two hits you'll see are, 1) the reference; and 2) a page with exanples of using the camera via an intent and custom code. Refer to both of those. Also pull up the reference page for Camera.Parameters. You will definitely need to refer to it. What you need to do, for any device, is: A) determine if it even HAS a camera; B) assuming it does, determine if it has a flash (not all do); C) assuming it has a flash, determine if it supports FLASH_MODE_TORCH; using parameters.getSupportedFlashModes(); D) If FLASH_MODE_TORCH is not in there, you're done. If it is, then you need to turn it on. DO NOT FORGET: You must also turn it OFF. Setting it to Auto or On will NOT turn the flash off, at least not on all devices. So before your app exits, set it to off. Also, I'm not sure (haven't tried), but I don't think you can access the flash without opening the camera. If you exit without closing the camera, you will LOCK the camera on at least some Android devices, leaving it locked until the device is rebooted. BE CAREFUL.... Between the three pages I just referred you to, you'll have all of the information you need, including sample code in the topics/media/camra.html page.
