When I try to start an Android Virtual Device with camera being attached to my laptop's web cam, I get the following message:
emulator: ERROR: camera_device_start_capturing: Device 'AndroidEmulatorVC0' is unable to save frame to the clipboard: 0
Here is my setup:
Android Studio 0.5.9
windows 8.1 Pro
Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro laptop
x86 emulator with intel HAX accelarator (same result with ARM)
Emulating Nexus 4 with Android 4.4.2
I tried Windows Compatibility options, and tried to run as administrator, but no luck. I see the camera light briefly turned on and then off right before the error is shown. you can find this comment in the source code generating the error:
/*
* At this point we need to grab a frame to properly setup framebuffer, and
* calculate pixel format. The problem is that bitmap information obtained
* from the driver doesn't necessarily match the actual bitmap we're going to
* obtain via capGrabFrame / capEditCopy / GetClipboardData
*/
/* Grab a frame, and post it to the clipboard. Not very effective, but this
* is how capXxx API is operating. */
I cannot think of anything else to try. I wonder if this even has a solution.
