Hi I am trying to interface the external camera with the android. I have edited the vendor's HAL code and changed the" /dev/video" to "/ dev/video1" as the external camera is hooked as "/dev/video1" .This is I believe will be touched by the Camera.apk file , I have following questions before i delve too deep into it :
(1)Is "dev/video0" to "dev/video1" to access the external camera via same camera interface is correct.No success so far. (2) Any changes I have to do on the Camera Android Framework(frameworks/basse/java or jni ) (3) Do i have to create the shared library of the camera apis or compile it as a part of systme image and flash it and run the camera.apk (4) The permission to be given to "/dev/vide1" in the uevent.rc or init.rc so that the application will be able to access the node. (5 How to bring the External camera viewfinder to the UI(like default camera viewfinder when we presses camera.apk) (6) Any step wise instruction for editing the files(services,android.mk, cpp,picture format) and compiling it Plz do throw some light on this. If this has already been done somewhere , direct me there(including your V4L2 post Thanks in advance Rgds, Softy -- unsubscribe: [email protected] website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-kernel
