Android API Level 16 and higher Torch App

I found this Question but it doesn't work for me. (Nothing happens. Tested on Wiko Rainbow Jam) Android - Camera2 : The easiest way to turn on the torch light

My App have to run on min. API Level 16! Is there an SupportCameraManager or an Library (under Apache), which can I use?

Solution

  • SOLUTION: The problem was that I only got the camera's parameters when turning on the light and turning off the light. This must apparently also be done in the constructor or in the overwriting onStart method.

    @Override
protected void onStart() {
    super.onStart();

    camera = Camera.open(); //Also Call this
    params = camera.getParameters(); //and this, in the Constructor
}

    as fields:

    private Camera camera;
Parameters params;

    And then you can start the flashlight with these snippets of code: Android - Camera2 : The easiest way to turn on the torch light
