Air 23 SDK Android return from cameraUI incorrect displaystate

Using Air 23 sdk on Android with displaystate of normal (ie. not full screen so you see the Android bar at the top of the app), calling the cameraUI.launch( MediaType.VIDEO ), recording a video and when returning from the recording the displaystate changes to fullscreen where the top part of the app is covered by the Android bar at the top - is there a fix for this? On return from the video recording, tried setting the displaystate to normal, but didn't work, top of app is still covered by the Android top bar.

Hi,

We have tried your code at our end by using stage.displayState after coming back from CameraUI and it is normal. The top of application is starting after the status bar and there's no overlap on our side. We have added a clickHandler to check the stage.displayState -

public function clickHandler(e:Event):void

  {

  trace("click handler");

  trace("\nStageDisplayState: " + stage.displayState);

  }

And it is tracing "normal" when we come back from the recording screen.

Thanks,

Seems to work by uncommenting the this.stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.NORMAL line, in my code as per your response.

Thanks.

Hi, I have extracted the code as follows. Note that if I introduce a delay before the readData() calls (say for 2 seconds), the issue seems to go away most of the time (not all of the time, but most of the time) and also if I cancel from the cameraUI I do not see the issue. I am wondering if it may be related to resources when returning from the cameraUI to the app? In any case, the code ....

var cameraUI:CameraUI = new CameraUI();
var dataSource:IDataInput;
var imageBytes:ByteArray;

if( CameraUI.isSupported )
{
cameraUI.addEventListener( MediaEvent.COMPLETE, mediaSelected );
cameraUI.addEventListener( Event.CANCEL, browseCanceled );
cameraUI.addEventListener( ErrorEvent.ERROR, mediaError );
cameraUI.launch( MediaType.VIDEO );
}
else
{
trace( "Picture/Video taking is not supported on this device.","1");
}

function browseCanceled( event:Event ):void

{}

function mediaError( event:Event ):void

{}

function mediaSelected( event:MediaEvent ):void
{
//this.stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
//this.stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;
var imagePromise:MediaPromise = event.data;
dataSource = imagePromise.open();
if( imagePromise.isAsync )
{
  var eventSource:IEventDispatcher = dataSource as IEventDispatcher;           
  eventSource.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, onTakenMediaLoaded );        
}
else
{
  readData();
}
}
function onTakenMediaLoaded( event:Event ):void
{
readData();
}
function readData():void
{
imageBytes = new ByteArray();
dataSource.readBytes( imageBytes );
temp = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("App/library/1.mp4");

     var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
     stream.open( temp, FileMode.WRITE );
     stream.writeBytes( imageBytes );
     stream.close();

// file stored locally
}

Hi,

I am testing on Samsung Note and HTC One, running Android 6 and 4.1. I have tried with SDK 22 and see the same issue as with 23.

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for reporting the issue. Could you please let us know with the following details like :

1. Which device and Android version you are using?

2. Is this issue AIR 23 specific ? or you are facing it on lower versions as well?

These details will help us in investigating further.

Thanks,
