Hi all,

I develop a broadcast app that uses the camera to broadcast video with netstream.

I debug the code on Samsung GT-i9000, Android version 4.0.1, Baseband version i9000XXJVK, KErnel version 2.6.35.15-gcc86ee2.

The trace shows the camera [object Camera], but when i attch the camera to the video object i see nothing i broadcast nothing!

On other Android mobiles(older versions) it works fine.

I use the adobe air 3 sdk.

Any clue??

Correct answer shlomi75

I traced the camera:

Chat, camera:[object Camera]

Chat, camera index:0

Chat, camera position:back

Chat, camera width:720

Chat, camera height:432

Chat, camera muted:false

So it apears that Adobe gets the camera, what goes wrong when attaching it to the video object? on the netstream object?

One more thing. I downloaded UStream mobile application and also could not use camera.

I'm sure it is something related to the OS


Found the real problem.

It is a known issue for Android 4.0 installed on Galaxy(instead of Galaxy s2). Eaven the native camera is not working when switching to video.

Could be an Ice Cream sandwich issue, 4.0 was causing problems with orientation so maybe this is another thing its breaking or Adobe has not yet caught up with whatever is new, to be fair its very new.

Thank you Mark.

Still, it is amazing that the camera can't be used. The only reason we chose Adobe is because of its streaming capabillities, once it's absent what edge does adobe have over native or titanuime?

I'm really frustraited and the bosses here are giving me a hard time.

Can someone from adobe give me an answer here?
