I have Lumia 830 and i've tried to create flashlight app in UWP C#. my device Flashlight works great but i don't know why i can't create my own app turn on / off Torch of my phone. I use Lamp class :
var lamp = await Lamp.GetDefaultAsync();
if (lamp == null)
{
ShowErrorMessage("No Lamp device found");
return;
}
lamp.IsEnabled = true;
when run this code on my phone "lamp" is null and it couldn't find my FlashLED. I've got this code from MSDN.Microsoft.com and thay said
If the returned object is null, the Lamp API is unsupported on the device. Some devices may not support the Lamp API even if there is a lamp physically present on the device.
This class doesn't work on my Lumia 830 i don't kno why? :(
also i use this code :
var mediaDev = new MediaCapture();
await mediaDev.InitializeAsync();
var videoDev = mediaDev.VideoDeviceController;
var tc = videoDev.TorchControl;
if (tc.Supported)
{
// But wait, for this to work with Blue camera drivers, we have to Start a recording session
// Create video encoding profile as MP4
var videoEncodingProperties = MediaEncodingProfile.CreateMp4(VideoEncodingQuality.Vga);
// Start Video Recording
var videoStorageFile = await KnownFolders.VideosLibrary.CreateFileAsync("tempVideo.mp4", CreationCollisionOption.GenerateUniqueName);
await mediaDev.StartRecordToStorageFileAsync(videoEncodingProperties, videoStorageFile);
// Turn on Torch
mediaDev.VideoDeviceController.TorchControl.Enabled = true;
}
this code works and my FlashLED turn on but it record video and it take's user SD Card memory. please help me if you know there is best way to turn on/off Torch or FlashLED. thanks in advance Hussein Habibi Juybari
