androidCameraExample in Samsung tab pro problem

android
#1

Weird problem.

The androidcameraExample starts fine in Samsung Galaxy Tab pro (12.2", Android 4.4.2). If I keep the tabled steady (lean against something), everything works i.e. video is rendered nicely (tested with 10 min).

When I move the tablet, the video freezes. The update and draw methods are called in testApp class but video is not updated. The grabber.isFrameNew() returns false.

Also if I move the tablet when the app starts, it works nicely a short period but then video freezes.

I am using 0.8.0 version of OF.

does this happens when you change the orientation of the tablet from landscape to portrait? or just by moving it?

#3

Just moving, I have locked orientation. The same app works perfectly on Samsung S3 (Android 4.3)

#4

that’s really weird not sure what might be going on, do you see some error in the logcat output?

#5

No errors. Nothing.

I uncommented the Log.i lines from OFAndroidVideoGrabber.previewFrame. Looks like it was called after the freezing, at least few times, but then LogCat cleans it self.

I did test the tablet with my own cam application (no OF), and it worked fine. It looks like the OF’s camera preview “chokes”.
