I have a custom camera app , that previews the camera video output on SurfaceView and attempts to take pictures , the pics should be will be processed by “xzing “scanner API to decode any barcodes in the image.
My app previews correctly and does not throw any errors or expectations, however my onPictureTaken(byte[] imgData, Camera camera) method & PictureCallback are never called, therefore I’m unable to get the image & continue with further scanning.
Below is the actual code for activity that takes care of Camera logic. The onPictureTaken(byte[] imgData, Camera camera) method & PictureCallback are in this class(ScanVinFromBarcodeActivity.java) see blow :
