Samsung Galaxy Nexus - setTorchState(true, ...)

[skywall]

Hi,

when I call mPdf417MobiView.setTorchState(true, ...); on my Galaxy Nexus, torch doesn't shine permanently, but only for ~2 seconds until autofocus's job is done. At this situation, I'm not able to find out, if torch is really enabled or not.

I have checked if torch is supported and it is.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

this is a known bug in camera driver in Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 10
tablet. Driver on those devices does not support camera focusing in
torch mode. We have reported that to Google and they said that problem
is somewhere in Samsung's firmware and that they do not have the source
code of it to fix the problem. I am afraid this condition is unfixable
at the moment :-(.
