I wrote the following code snippet. It is used to create a camera. I tested it on Nokia phones. It works great, and I can see the camera and use its functionality.
But the problem is that when the code is tested on a Samsung phone, it throws a Media exception and ultimately needs to exit the application. Because of this code, my built-in camera functionality (i.e. on a samsung phone) also stops working. So what is the reason for this?
public void startCamera()
{
try
{
try
{
player = createPlayer();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace();
ErrorDialog.show(ex, "We are exiting the application.",
"Exit", new com.auric.qrev.scanqrcode.lwuit.ui.Action(){
public void actionPerformed() {
m_objMIDlet.exitApp();
}
});
}
try
{
player.realize();
player.prefetch();
}
catch (MediaException ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace();
ErrorDialog.show(ex, "We are exiting the application.",
"Exit", new com.auric.qrev.scanqrcode.lwuit.ui.Action(){
public void actionPerformed() {
m_objMIDlet.exitApp();
}
});
}
videoControl = (VideoControl)(player.getControl("VideoControl"));
if (videoControl == null)
{
stopCamera();
ErrorDialog.show("Unsupported:\n"+
"Can't get video control\n"+
"We are exiting the application.",
"Exit", new com.auric.qrev.scanqrcode.lwuit.ui.Action(){
public void actionPerformed() {
m_objMIDlet.exitApp();
}
});
}
mediaComponent = new MediaComponent(player);
mediaComponent.setFocusable(false);
m_cameraScreen.showCamera(mediaComponent);
start();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace();
stopCamera();
ErrorDialog.show("Sorry,Resources unavailable.\nWe are exiting the application.",
"Exit", new com.auric.qrev.scanqrcode.lwuit.ui.Action(){
public void actionPerformed() {
m_objMIDlet.exitApp();
}
});
}
}
private Player createPlayer()throws MediaException, Exception
{
Player mPlayer = null;
try
{
mPlayer = Manager.createPlayer("capture://image");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (Error e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
if (mPlayer == null)
{
try
{
mPlayer = Manager.createPlayer("capture://video");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
throw new MediaException("Sorry,Resources unavailable.");
}
}
if(mPlayer == null)
throw new Exception("Sorry,Resources unavailable.");
return mPlayer;
}
