Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had encountered problems using getSnapshot on an N96 (S60 3rd ed. FP1, MIDP 2.0). I had JME code working previously for an S40 phone but the N96 doesn't seem to like it. I've narrowed the problem down to the point at which I call the method getSnapShot. I use the "usual" set-up code:
..
myPlayer = Manager.createPlayer("capture://video"); // changed from "capture://image" in S40
myPlayer.realize();
myVideoControl = (VideoControl)(myPlayer.getControl("VideoControl"));
..
myPlayer.start();
myVideoControl.setVisible(true);
..
and then to capture the image I use
..
rawImage= appVideoControl.getSnapshot("encoding=jpeg"); // .getSnapshot(null) does not work either
myImage = Image.createImage(rawImage,0,rawImage.length);

I've tried getSnapShot(null) but this was not successful. In the previous code for the S40, I used
myPlayer = Manager.createPlayer("capture://image");
however, if I use this for the S60, no video viewfinder is displayed at all! If I check the length of myImage above it gives 0.

Any help is appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
Steve.

Hi,
have you set the setting for the camera,
follow like this->
1.application manager
3.select your application
2.select the suite setting in your application.
3.check the multimedia setting,it must be allowed.
the code below is tested for the S60.

capturePlayer = Manager.createPlayer("capture://video");
if (capturePlayer != null)
{
capturePlayer.prefetch();
capturePlayer.realize();
capturePlayer.addPlayerListener(this);
videoControl = (VideoControl)capturePlayer.getControl("VideoControl");
if (videoControl != null)
{
// if you are using Canvas //
videoControl.initDisplayMode(VideoControl.USE_DIRECT_VIDEO,this);

//if using Form
videoControl.initDisplayMode(VideoControl.USE_GUI_PRIMITIVE,null);

videoControl.setDisplayLocation(0,0);
videoControl.setDisplayFullScreen(true);
videoControl.setVisible(true);

capturePlayer.start();
byte [] raw = videoControl.getSnapshot(null);
myImage = Image.createImage(raw,0,raw.length);
}

Hi Raj,

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post.

Unfortunately, the application already had the correct setting specified (Settings -> Multimedia -> Ask first time). I will try the code you have provided.

Steve.
