Camera Test - working with LiveCode 5.5

[BarrySumpter]

I don't know why its so hard to get the right settings with the Android Camera on my HD2.
This is the only 1 out of 12 versions that I got to work before loosing interest.
I'll return later to play with the TemplateImage.

The red background is to test the color bug that turned red to blue on android we had in previous versions.

Executing the app on Android,
click the Camera button in the top left corner.

My HD2 gives me a popup to choose which camera app.
I chose the android camera app.

After I click the shutter to take a pic,
I click the OK button on the android camera app
android and or LiveCode
takes about 5 to 10 seconds with a blank screen,
then displays my pic in my image field.


MobilePickPhoto used the LiveCode built in TemplateImage.
It's an Image with all the properties of a normal image.
You can set the TemplateImage properties before executing the MobilePickPhoto command.
