Hi

I have just started a Flex 4.5 project (video and text chat) utilizing FMS.

All works fine appart from I dont seem to be able to use / access the Front camera on my Android device.

Anyone got any clues why not?

I did read somwhere that air 2.6 has a bug regarding this, but I lost the link.

Apologies if this is listed elsewhere.

Regards

Paul

Hi,

I didn't get your question properly but I think you are asking about "AIR for Android" download link.

When you use AIR 3 beta SDK to publish/debug to android device, Flash builder will install AIR runtime on the device and you can start testing.

Currently, AIR only supports access to the primary camera on an Android device, but stay tuned for additional functionality in a future release. However, you might be able to get away with using the native camera UI to allow the user to choose which camera is used. Check out the following blog post:

AIR for Android: Camera and Camera Roll

Hope this helps,
