Even as hundreds of other have made them, i am trying my hand at a flashlight app. I have the basic GUI and widget working and toggling, and i just attempted to implement the actual flash from the phone. I have found many places that this is most easily done with this snippet of code:
Camera mCamera = Camera.open(); Parameters params = mCamera.getParameters(); params.setFlashMode( Parameters.FLASH_MODE_TORCH ); mCamera.setParameters( params ); I have tried this code, and every time i run the app it crashes, giving me an output in LogCat of the following: 02-07 00:04:49.130: E/AndroidRuntime(4861): Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Fail to connect to camera service Every other app that uses the camera or flash works fine, and i have no idea what is causing it to fail. In my android manifest i have: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FLASHLIGHT" /> <uses-parmission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" /> <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" /> <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.flash" /> Any and all help is greatly appreciated as I am completely stuck after sitting at this for the last several hours...
