How Turn on only Camera flash light programmatically in android?

okay guys, I have been looking for a little while and I cant seem to find this anywhere, I would like to grant my camera application access to the flash bulbs or whatever you want to call them, If anyone knows and would like to share that would be greatly appreciated. Or if anyone can point me into the right direction that would be great.

I'll take a stab at this...

From http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/Camera.html

you need to grant permission to use the camera and use the <uses-feature> for camera features you want to use:

  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
  <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
  <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" />

The features supported are here http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-element.html

and the camera ones you want are

android.hardware.camera
android.hardware.camera.autofocus
android.hardware.camera.flash

  • You can visit http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/Camera.Parameters.html to set the state of the flash. Depending on hardware, it supports AUTO, off, on, red eye, and torch. – mchang Nov 28 '10 at 04:49
