Use camera flashlight in Android

by

Every device is a bit different. Samsung especially likes to make things complicated for app developers.

On the Galaxy Tab you should be good with:

Camera cam;
void ledon() {
    cam = Camera.open();     
    Parameters params = cam.getParameters();
    params.setFlashMode(Parameters.FLASH_MODE_ON);
    cam.setParameters(params);
    cam.startPreview();
    cam.autoFocus(new AutoFocusCallback() {
                public void onAutoFocus(boolean success, Camera camera) {
                }
            });
}

void ledoff() {
    cam.stopPreview();
    cam.release();
}

If that doesn’t work then it might be a matter of setting FLASH_MODE_OFF initially and changing it after the startPreview.
