Google Glass GDK CameraManager Intent - google-glass

Question

Does anyone know if when you use the GDK Cameramanager Intent to take a picture, is there a way to not show the preview or close it automatically? Capturing an image for use in app and don't want to have to tap to accept.
I probably have missed something.
Thanks,

Answer 1

You can try this:
Intent localIntent = new Intent("com.google.glass.action.TAKE_PICTURE_FROM_SCREEN_OFF");
localIntent.putExtra("should_finish_turn_screen_off", true);
localIntent.putExtra("should_take_picture", true);
localIntent.putExtra("screenshot_file_path", pathToFile);
startActivity(localIntent);
It will close your preview automatically after few seconds.

try this...
private void takePicture() {
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == 0 && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
String picturePath=data.getStringExtra(CameraManager.EXTRA_PICTURE_FILE_PATH);
processPictureWhenReady(picturePath);
}
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}
private void processPictureWhenReady(final String picturePath) {
final File pictureFile = new File(picturePath);
if (pictureFile.exists()) {
// The picture is ready; process it.
// Write your code here
} else {
final File parentDirectory = pictureFile.getParentFile();
FileObserver observer = new FileObserver(parentDirectory.getPath()) {
// Protect against additional pending events after CLOSE_WRITE is
// handled.
private boolean isFileWritten;
#Override
public void onEvent(int event, String path) {
if (!isFileWritten) {
// For safety, make sure that the file that was created in
// the directory is actually the one that we're expecting.
File affectedFile = new File(parentDirectory, path);
isFileWritten = (event == FileObserver.CLOSE_WRITE
&& affectedFile.equals(pictureFile));
if (isFileWritten) {
stopWatching();
// Now that the file is ready, recursively call
// processPictureWhenReady again (on the UI thread).
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
processPictureWhenReady(picturePath);
}
});
}
}
}};
observer.startWatching();
}
}
