AnCam

An OpenFL Android extension to use Camera.

• Done with OpenFL 4.9.2.
• reference tutorial
• Sending Data back from Native Code to Haxe
• The JNI short code reference

For the basics of an Android extension, have a look at RayToast

Available Methods

• initCamera()Void : just a test
• startCamera():Void : fires up camera and takes picture
• captureImageAs(imgName:String):Void : Mostly needed this one. It takes the image name as a parameter and saves it

Usage

• Two steps

1. Call it like AnCam.captureImageAs("myPhoto");
2. Listen to the event as AnCam.dispatcher.addEventListener(AnCam.CAM_CAPTURED_EVENT,onCamCaptured);

• Complete Example implementation is here
• Sample code for implementation is as below

   // add the event listener
   AnCam.dispatcher.addEventListener(AnCam.CAM_CAPTURED_EVENT,onCamCaptured);

   // capture the image and save it
   AnCam.captureImageAs("myPhoto");// it will be saved as myPhoto.jpg

   // load it in the application
   private function onCamCaptured(e:Event):Void{
   	var sCamImage:String = System.userDirectory + 'myPhoto' +'.jpg';
   	var r:URLRequest = new URLRequest(sCamImage);
   	var loaderImage:Loader = new Loader();
   	loaderImage.load(r);
   	addchild(loaderImage);
   }

Notes

• The JNI short code reference
• change build.gradle located at dependencies/android/build.gradle to have classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:::ANDROID_GRADLE_PLUGIN::'
  • it looks as

  dependencies {
   	classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:::ANDROID_GRADLE_PLUGIN::'
   }
