[android-developers] Launch camera app with an intent?
I can't find any intent which opens the camera. The closest I've found is ACTION_CAMERA_BUTTON but that breaks if the phone has no hardware button for the camera.

[android-developers] Synchronize the UI thread with a GLSurfaceView's drawing?
I'm using the Rokon engine for my game. I'm exploring the possibility of using normal XML views for UI instead of building them out of sprites. This works great for static interface elements.

Updating the View position every game loop still leaves it out of sync by a frame or two. Does anyone have any ideas for how this might be achieved?
