Muhammad, i tried the issue locally and it seems to be something wrong
with the camcorder itself (in the emulator), my previously suggested
workaround (http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/
browse_thread/thread/60005bb7fff2e14f/eec39e24877d8b42?
hl=en&lnk=gst&q=black+screen+camera+hanged_man#eec39e24877d8b42) works
only with the Camera app, i've tested it by not running it via the
intents but by running it directly from the home screen, however
trying to run the camcorder app results in a black screen and no idea
why.
And another stupid thing, try running the camcorder first (ofcourse
you will get a black screen) then try running the camera and
surprisingly you will get another black screen, i remember that i've
read somewhere that the camera-related apps hold a lock on certain
resource related to the camera which explains why this is happening.
Now this is stupid, i was counting on the fact that the camcorder is
working and trying to implement my own is going to be painfully
annoying :(
