Android :: Use The Same Ability Of Flash That Provides An Access To User's Phone Camera (frontal)?
Apr 28, 2011
I have a service that uses computer webcam via Flash. Now I'd like to develop an Android optimized version of the service using HTML5 + Flash and then use some HTML5 wrapper to get an app.
I wonder if it's possible to use the same ability of Flash that provides an access to user's phone camera (frontal) on the Android (tablet pcs, smart phones). I know Android supports Flash since 2.2, but I failed to find any information on hardware access.
From a Flash object, I would like to be able to detect the presence of a webcam that the user might grant access to, without actually asking the user whether they want to grant access. This is to streamline a large application that has extra features if a webcam exists — if there is a webcam, the application will present several dialogs that lead up to the normal cam-security prompt, but if the user doesn't have the hardware, I want to skip over them altogether. Requesting access to the cam before those dialogs won't make sense to the user.
It appears not to be possible to call Camera.getCamera() without the security prompt happening. Is there a workaround? (For instance, could I, perhaps, call getCamera in a hidden Flash object and inspect its return value, or does it block until the user acknowledges the security prompt?)
I am developing an application running in Flash Player. The applicatiosn requestes access to the camera and/or microphone available on user computer.Is there a way in the application I prevent users from seeing this question? i.e. without having user to change his/her Adobe Flash Player setting?
A considerable amount of space is used up by .apk files on my phone with apps which cannot be moved to the sdcard (Adobe Flash and Google Maps). In those directories, there are .apk files. Can I delete these to save space and have the application work as it did before?
Usually Adobe Flash applications can access any usb-webcam.I have a USB camera for microscopes which understands TWAIN and DirectShow.Is there a possibility to access the video data from this camera with flash?
I am building an Android application using Flex Hero. When I run the application I can package it fine on my mobile and run it on the device, however, as soon as I want to run in debug mode on the device, the device gives me a message like: "Can't connect to debugger (192.168.1.12). Enter IP-address or hostname". The device is connected with a USB to the PC and USB debugging is enabled on the device. I have tried to shut down the computer's firewall, but no result.
For buttons like the MENU or BACK button you can just add a listener for KeyboardEvent and check if the event keyCode is Keyboard.BACK or Keyboard.MENU.However I don't see anything for knowing if the phone's volume buttons were pressed.Is there a way to listen for volume up and volume down keyUp/keyDown events in AIR (ActionScript 3)?
I'm trying to use the camera in an Android app using the 1.5 API. I want the camera to flash for every picture. However, when I looked at the API for camera.parameters, thesetFlashMode() method is only supported for 2.0 and higher. Yet my Cliq XT, which runs 1.5, has a flash that I can set in the menu - I take this to mean there is a way to do this for the 1.5 API, though I was unable to find it.
Well I started playing around with some coding for Android (because I want to make an App for my YouTube community [URL] and I got some pretty cool stuff working already but just now I bumped into this weird problem.I was trying out Auto Orientation (rotating the phone for portrait or landscape view). And in Flash the BG Movieclip is at 0,0 but on the phone its more like -20,-40...I also had a "similar" problem with a swipe tryout where in Flash the swipeable pages where completely filling the screen but on my phone I had a top and bottom white bar (flash's bg, so if i made this black it would be black on the phone also) of about 10-15 px...
Recently I went thru the code for accessing the camera using flash ActionScript3 and I have tested the code in iMac machine, iPhone and Android.Now based on this, I am developing an application for Android which includes the accessibility of the front camera. Now my Problem is I dont know how to access the front camera? We should use some other code or should we specify which camera should be accessed? First of all, can we access the front camera thru flash?
A while ago I developed a flash app that takes pictures from the users webcam, I recently bought a android tablet device (flash capable), but the flash app do not find the camera of the tablet, any way I can modify my flash app in order to "see" the tablet's camera?
Error occurred while installing the application: 864 KB/s (33668 bytes in 0.038s) pkg: /data/local/tmp/Main.apk Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_MEDIA_UNAVAILABLE]
I have a very simple "HelloWorld" action script mobile app which simply adds a text field to the display list. Running the app on the desktop using the HTC Desire simulator works just fine, however testing on the device is throwing that error.
On the phone I have installed the Adobe Air available on the Market, the device is connected and the version of android running is 2.3.3.
I can't seem to get away from this error. I've tried creating flex mobile projects and imported one of iBrent's tutorial projects [URL].. to see if they work but alas I get the equivalent fail error.
The question I have today is concerning a design of a Flash Website. Is there any certain way you will need to design a flash site so it can be viewd over cell phone with web access. The reason I'm asking is that I have a friend that say he can view some flash site and some he can't. So I'm thinking tat must have something to do with the way the site is designed.
I request my user from mic and camera setting on my website with Flash, but the remember checkbox does not show, so every time my user logs in he's requested once again for permissions, how can I make the checkbox show to avoid this?
Im trying to build a a small viewer that will allow the user the ability to scroll through a certain number of thumbnails. I'm having trouble on how to go about this. I haven't used flash or actionscript 3 in quite a while so Im pretty rusty when it comes to perspective on how to go about this. I basically want the user to interact with a scroll bar (up and down) to move through a certain number of thumbnail pictures (125 x 125).
Do you still have to use Flash wrappers like Zinc to be able to save files from a CD using a Flash projector. In the same way you would use Filereference.save?
I've got a DVD style project where I need to be able link to files such as PDFs, JPGs and WMVs giving the user the ability to save these to their local drive.
I've been doing some research about accessing an android camera in flash and I came across cameraUI but from what i understand this works only in AIR and not in flash player. Is it possible to access the camera of an android device in flash player (on a web page rather than on an app)?
im creating a simple mobile application for a nokia 5230 touchscreen phone in flash. Im just trying to create some code to tell it to jump to the main menu when the user presses on the screen. I have a key catcher in which i have the following code:
[Code]...
Im not sure if this will work for touchscreen phone because i got it from a sample program from my lecturer in college but i dont know what i should do as it wont recognise a press on the screen.
From Adobe docs: [URL] it looks like with present SDK (4.5 "Hero" ) only standalone flex app for AIR are supported on mobile devices. So can someone explain how i can run "YouTube" clips on my Nexus One phone with Android 2.2?
I am working on HD video recording project and I just want to use Canon T3 digital camera in my project and i am not able to access other camera but not Canon T3 so,
I have a project that uses video for a chat application, I can get it to work in the flex emulator but when I deploy it to the device the button that initiates the video doesn't change and video never starts. My devices all have 2 cameras except my computer but specifiying Camera.getCamera([1]) didn't change anything except mess up my emulator and cause a NullPointerException. Camera.getCamera([0]) works just the same as not having the ID. I have tried messing with different values quality and nothing makes a difference
private function publishVideo():void{ _publishingVideo = true; _ns = new NetStream(_nc);
Is it possible to use Air on android and access the compass? I saw there is some acceleration support[URL]..If it is NOT accessible, would it be possible to do some communication between a native android-app listening for compass update and an air application?
