Did you check to see if torch mode is SUPPORTED by its camera device? See getSupportedFlashModes() in Camera.Parameters (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/Camera.Parameters.html) for more information. You should ALWAYS check to see if a camera parameter you're trying to set is supported for that device BEFORE you try and set it, or you might cause a force close with the camera open, which in most Androids will[1] lock the camera until the user reboots their Android, which, in turn, can lead to a whole lot of p*ssed off users, 1-star ratings, etc. Later, --jim [1] While my Acer Iconia A500 tablet was still running Honeycomb, if I had an uncaught exception in my camera app (which is now on-hold until the election in November, after which, it may be pointless to release it at all), a force close would NOT lock the camera. Once it upgraded to ICS, that changed, and it DOES get locked up now. So I know it doesn't always happen, but you can bet that it will on most Androids. -- THE SCORE: ME: 2 CANCER: 0 73 DE N5IAL (/4) MiSTie #49997 < Running Mac OS X Lion > [email protected] ICBM/Hurr.: 30.44406N 86.59909W No, I'm not going to explain it.
