Android face detection MaxNumDetectedFaces

Question

So I just upgraded my tablet (original asus transformer) to android version 4.0.3 to build a app using face detection. But every time i launch it and try to start face detec

Remember you can detect faces using the older FaceDetector API. It's been around since API Level 1 and should work on all phones with a camera. It also gives you back a bounding box when a face is detected.

public Rect findFace(Bitmap bmp) {
    // Ask for 1 face
    Face faces[] = new FaceDetector.Face[1];
    FaceDetector detector = new FaceDetector( bmp.getWidth(), bmp.getHeight(), 1 );
    int count = detector.findFaces( bmp, faces );

    Face face = null;

    if( count > 0 ) {
        face = faces[0];

        PointF midEyes = new PointF();
        face.getMidPoint( midEyes );
        Log.i( TAG,
                "Found face. Confidence: " + face.confidence() + ". Eye Distance: " + face.eyesDistance() + " Pose: ("
                        + face.pose( FaceDetector.Face.EULER_X ) + "," + face.pose( FaceDetector.Face.EULER_Y ) + ","
                        + face.pose( FaceDetector.Face.EULER_Z ) + "). Eye Midpoint: (" + midEyes.x + "," + midEyes.y + ")" );

        float eyedist = face.eyesDistance();
        PointF lt = new PointF( midEyes.x - eyedist * 2.0f, midEyes.y - eyedist * 2.5f );
        // Create rectangle around face.  Create a box based on the eyes and add some padding.
        // The ratio of head height to width is generally 9/5 but that makes the rect a bit to tall.
        return new Rect(
            Math.max( (int) ( lt.x ), 0 ),
            Math.max( (int) ( lt.y ), 0 ),
            Math.min( (int) ( lt.x + eyedist * 4.0f ), bmp.getWidth() ),
            Math.min( (int) ( lt.y + eyedist * 5.5f ), bmp.getHeight() )
        );
    }

    return null;
}
