Build 3644 - Accessing Camera on Android crashes

Solar2D Android
1

Accessing the camera crashes the app on build 2021.3644. I’ve attached a tiny sample project at the end. I’ve tested this on Android 8.1 with Solar2D builds 2021.3642 and 2021.3644.

On 2021.3642, there are no issues. When you first launch the app and press the rectangle, the app requests camera access. After it has received access and you press the rect again, it opens the camera.

On 2021.3644, however, after you’ve received camera access and press the rect again, the app crashes.

As a result of the comment from @XeduR , I tried one of my apps that uses the camera, compiled with build 3644 and when trying to access the camera it gave an error. tested on Android 11

Hi @vlads , any news about this issue?

4

Looking into it.

5

@vlads, any news?

6

Hi @XeduR, have you been able to find a solution to this problem?

7

Hey @orangegstudios!

There’s no solution yet. If you are using version 3644 or newer, then you need to avoid accessing camera until @vlads gets a fix rolled out.

Hey! I wanted to ask some help with this. Can you please post stacktraces and exceptions it fails with? I am unable to repro the bug :frowning:

Before this, when trying to take a photo, it is requesting permissions:

local hasAccessToCamera, hasCamera = media.hasSource( media.Camera )
if ( hasAccessToCamera == true ) then
	takePhoto()
elseif ( hasCamera == true and native.canShowPopup( "requestAppPermission" ) ) then
	native.showPopup( "requestAppPermission", {
		appPermission="Camera",
		listener = onPermissionComplete
	} )
end

New build is up. Please check if stuff is working. If not, also file an issue so I don’t loose track please

It’s fixed. Thanks!

Seems that the issue still persists on Android 11 (no idea about Android 10).

I’ve created an issue in GitHub: https://github.com/coronalabs/corona/issues/258

Are you still experiencing issues with this, @orangegstudios?

Hi, Android 10 and build 2021.3646 OK, work your Camera.Test.zip

regards,

solca
