It seems a lot of new android phones have this burst mode feature for their camera and they use it in their native camera apps. I was wondering if there is an api that they use in their apps or maybe they are just taking photos in a loop, i couldn't be sure, so can anyone care to explain?

There's no official API for it, but before you go ahead and start looping .takePicture(), you should probably be calling it again on a picture callback to avoid taking up the entire CPU if there's a delay in taking a picture for any reason :)

  • So do you think it would be as fast as native galaxy s3 camera app's burst mode? – dirhem Nov 26 '12 at 14:49
  • Honestly no idea, the best thing to do would be to give it a try, if not maybe go with the looping but be careful not to make the app crash on not as good phones, maybe delay each call to give chance to catch up :) – ConnorRoberts Nov 26 '12 at 20:18
