Hi David, Thanks for quick reply, I think access via native signal processing hooks is fine provided this includes access to the -full- 'snapshot' buffer as well as the 'preview' buffer, RGB format would be nice as well.
And yes 16MB heap limit is luxury for a phone application right now, but I think this will become limiting over time and on different platforms eg MIDs, netbooks etc ( for that matter, Android would be a great OS for dedicated SLR and video cameras ;-) Regards On Feb 11, 3:27 pm, Dave Sparks <davidspa...@android.com> wrote: > Highly unlikely.
