Android setFocusArea and Auto Focus

Question

I\'ve been battling with this feature for couple of days now...

It seems, that camera is ignoring(?) focus areas that I\'ve defined. Here is snippets of the code:

Answer 1

use FOCUS_MODE_FIXED

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.GINGERBREAD) {
        mCamera = Camera.open(mCameraId);
    } else {
        mCamera = Camera.open();
    }
cameraParams = mCamera.getParameters();
// set the focus mode
cameraParams.setFocusMode(Camera.Parameters.FOCUS_MODE_FIXED);
// set Camera parameters
mCamera.setParameters(cameraParams);
