Android - cam.setPreviewDisplay(holder) running into IOError

Question

I am trying to use the camera\'s image as part of live wallpaper.

In the Engine that I declared, I have this code:

public class Class extends Wallpa         


        

Answer 1

I have seen the following gotcha giving me java.io.IOException: setPreviewDisplay failed:

If you do both video and photo, there are two functions, camera.unlock() and camera.reconnect(). You must camera.unlock() before recording a video and camera.reconnect() before taking a photo.
